Thoroughly torn between these three for getting my headless multiscale 8 string fix. Any thoughts deciding between the three? Pros and cons of each? Personal experiences from people who have played any/all?
Strandberg Boden 8 vs. Skervesen Shoggie DC 8 vs. XEN

I have a Xen 9. I was at Summer NAMM in Nashville a couple weeks ago at the Xen booth and got to try out several others. They're all very solid instruments. Most of the ones there were the newer CNC made ones, which played even better than mine (which was hand built). Not only do the CNC ones play better, the cost is a little lower, too. Eric at Xen is really enthusiastic about making a guitar to your needs.

Between those, I vote Strindberg, but I have to preface I have yet to play a single Skervesen. I have played a Xen before, and although it was good, the Strandberg is such a thoroughly incredible guitar. I'm going to eventually pick up a Boden OS because I thought it played even better than the Boden CS models I've played.
