New Sherman Guitars 8 String

msherman · 01-02-2007, 07:56 PM

Here is the new 8 string I have been developing.
Specs are;
27.5" scale.
32 fret Gaboon Ebony F/B with Curly Maple binding.
5/8" Curly Maple top with African Mohagany body.
7 piece Curly Maple/ Purple Heart set neck.
Hipshot bridge.
EMG HZ 40 pickup (passive with coil wiring option) or, Custom Villex pickup with matching wood pup covers ($100. upgrade)

These will go for $2,300.

I have been authorized by Chris and the boys to offer a New Years Special of $2,000 to SS members through January 31st.

Very cool!

bostjan · 01-02-2007, 08:36 PM

Pretty cool!

I'm sure the Ebony fretboards will look great with those extra frets.

I'd like to see this when it's finished.

Thank you Kind Sir.
I`m beginning to go nuts with slotting all the 30+ fret F/B`s lately

Now I have to slot alother 39 fret Katalox F/B for a 7 string bass.

Well, if it'll make you happy, you can make me a 24-fret 8-string for free

Very, very gorgeous work man! One of the best 8s I've seen so far, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the finished thing

Very nice! I can't decide which looks better, the front or the back, they're both beautiful sides. Nice work.

Great looking guitar. Extra frets are cool.

Metal as fuck sherman!

I like the shape and the selection of woods.
