That all depends on how much attention the girlfriend will get now that the 8-string is in the house.

Egads! What a monstrosity! How do you play that thing with all those strings and those weird looking frets

Couple of corrections to the specs list

Perpendicular fret = 9

Scales = either 590-650, or 600 - 660... I can't remember

Fretboard is acrylized mac ebony which is impervious to moisture and totally stable, and the fabric is pure carbon twill, not carbon/kevlar blend. And it was a bitch to make, a whole lot of things had to be done twice, but it sounds pretty freaking amazing acoustically so I might do it again if the money is right

Seriously though, Bostjan has been immensely patient with me through this project. I can't overstate what a great dude he is to deal with!

Very interesting that Bostjan didn't get the stuff right. Maybe he is still undeserving of such a nice 8-string?

Ya did good Dan, Ya did good!

Wow! Just wow!



How many frets?

Can you tell us more about the construction Dan?

Is it Parker-style with a light body & neck wood surrounded by a carbon skin?

Looks just slick as can be! I love the carbon weave showing through subtly.




Edit: Bostjan CONGRATS!!!

That's an understatement. Well, actually he wore himself out with all the excitement and is now passed out(probably on my side of the bed too).
