Looks pretty cool.

Interesting bevels on the top and bottom of the body.

I really don't like the headstock, but this can still turn into a interesting project. It's nice to see a lefty 8-string.

Post more pics soon

A lefty? Scott will be proud!

I think this is one of, if not the first lefty 8.

I didn't get to finish the earlier post.
I looked around for a while and felt that this design was a little different from others.Being a lefty,it's hard to find anything good,not like you can walk into any guitar store and pull a great ax off the wall and play it!!!
Shane is very gifted luthier and easy to work with.Plus he gets right back with you.I also liked the fact that he works for Tobias bass,what a great source for knowledge ,Michael Tobias is a master luthier and Shane gets to tap his brain!!!
His website is now up and running if anyone was interested

I actually found him through this website,so thank you all for having this forum,it has given me much knowledge.I will post more pics as I get them.

And the longer that truth has to hide, the more it stings when it makes itself known.
