Simply - I want one

I know it might be a long-shot, but you never know.

A 6 string model - B2 or a reversed B6 if possible (im not sure how many of these are around even).

References: eBay

and 'Metaljim', 'zimbloth' (through 'sethh') and 'hairychris' (through ebay) here

Location: Estonia, Europe (in EU)

ps. I'm also open for trade offers - Caparison Dellinger HGS 6-string (BKP Nailbomb in the bridge position) for your Blackmachine

KaLeVaLA · 11-21-2008, 09:24 AM

there was one up for sale on this forum some time ago! Just search and you will find it!
But...prepare to pay up

hehe

Edit:

i have nothing to do at work..so i found that sales thread for you that contains the Blackmachine guitar for sale:

heh, thanks man, but I'm aware of that one.

If it weren't for the price tag, that would be ideal. I'm not saying that what he is asking is unreasonable, but its obvious that blackmachines are wayy more expensive on that side of the Atlantic. Anyway, I'm hoping to find one here in Europe (no import taxes / cheaper shipping / smaller price tag)

sakeido · 11-21-2008, 11:15 AM

That guy is completely out to lunch on the price. New they are thousands less even with shipping and duties, and used they should be roughly half as much as he is asking.

Regardless, I made him an offer of $4200 and that wasn't good enough for him

Also, Doug is going to make B6s available with an eight week build time starting early 2009. It might be worth it just to wait for one of those

8stringlover · 11-22-2008, 05:00 AM

no offense but i think the prices are perfect since he is an individual maker trying to make a living. the prices of guitars in us and in europe are very different i'm afraid so people get confused. my gutarmaker has the same going on with his prices, yet over here, his guitars are less expensive then the other luthiers in switzerland..... so i think its a question of ''if you like his designs and you like the makers ideas and crafts, then go for it whaterver he charges, you are buying a dream in some ways, a unique handcrafted instrument and this has a price... blackmachines are gorgeous, i'm very tempted myself to go for a 7 string of his.... Got to save some money

trig · 11-22-2008, 06:01 AM

sakeido: B6 with an 8-week build time in 2009 sounds tempting - you might have a rough price quote for that?

8stringlover: thanks for the input

anyway, lets not turn this into "blackmachines are expensive in US" thread

nope!

The first batch was 1050gbp so I'd expect them to be somewhat more than that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe sakeido was referencing xwmucradiox, not Doug, the builder of Black Machine Guitars.

It wasn't an attack on Blackmachine prices dude, it was someone who thought they could gouge because they thought their Blackmachine was the closest anyone would get to owning one in the next 2 years.

That's it exactly

BigPhi84 · 11-23-2008, 10:55 PM

Yeah, that's what I thought.

hairychris · 11-24-2008, 08:15 AM

I can vouch for Trig

, although I think that he's going to be disappointed this time round!

I saw that. I did the maths, though, and the poster bought his guitar at the worst possible time for dollar/pound conversion (2100ish for guitar, 200 for the case, crap knows what for insured shipping at conversion rate of ~2 dollars to pound). I'm pretty sure that he's breaking even rather then 'gouging'. Still, it's a lot of money!
