Are you referring to a straight trapezoid neck ala Rick Toone or a straight-scale EndureNeck?
Yes, the Rick Toone trapezoid profile.

Someone finally stocked Progs in Japan; one of each model. I picked up the natural Prog 6 I'll do a NGD for eventually. It was barely more expensive than what new or even used OS's still go for (super expensive here for some reason) and after trying a bunch of the 2016 OS's floating around here, with the quality improvements it was a no brainer. Zero QC issues as far as my eyes have been able to tell and it feels amazing.

That's good news, I had quite a few issues with my 2016 os7 which put me off the brand for a while. But I'm starting to get the itch again, if I get my ducks in a row this year I'm hopefully looking at an original 7 string.

Best comment was "What currency is this in?"

But yea, must be listing it for about twice as much as he paid for it. And at least 3 times more than what I'd pay for it with that dumb finish.

He's listed it for $12K on there, the other two are available at $7K on the japanese auction/shopping sites. So even the $7K is a marked up price on them. I'm guessing they were about $5K when they were originally for sale.

Agreed on the finish, narad, not sure why i'd want half my guitar to be one colour and the other half a different colour.

Just so we're talking about the same things -- are you saying the other two "private stock" ones with the fade finishes are up on J auction sites? I'd be curious to see links if so (not that I care to buy, just must have missed it). I imagine they were probably $7k-ish new, because if you use the strandberg configurator you see how much they jacked up the prices. It's hard to get a quilt top neck through for < $6k.
