Blackmachine = god
Seriously, I know a lot of people here think they are overpriced, but my god, i don't think i've ever heard anything sound better. If you want a guitar that you'll never sell, get one. They are tone and playability mosnsters, they really are.
The reason for this post is bought to you by dough (blackmachine guy, who build ALL the guitars himself) letting me play his two babies which are frankly out of this world. He has a fanned 8 he built for himself, and a 6, and both were simply god like. The amount of note definition on the 8 9which has sound chambers) is simply godlike. Seriously, if any of you guys are considering a guitar and have the cash, it's more than worth it, it's like listening to jesus if he was a guitar. and alive. and real.

Just to add, i think the next axe i buy will be a blackmachine 7 or 8, and I really don't think it could be topped in terms of sound and quality.

I really, really want a B7 in the worst way, and I've never even set eyes on one.

man, it is just amazing stuff. just the sound of the things is incredible, it leterally wipes the floor with anything else i've ever heard. Just crystal clear and full, rich, amazing.
Every guitar he builds he works to his stupidly high standards as he knows they are expensive, and wants people to be pleased. Chris, if you ever want an amazing guitar that'll make you sell everything else, get one of these. I just can't get over how good those tqwo guitars were i had a go on today. Planted a shit eating grin 10 miles wide on my face. Even the fanned fret you get used to pretty quickly, and the neck is the same width as a 7. Plays like butter... You know you need one. It's worth more than what you pay for it.

man, this thing sounds like a 6 string, sounds like a 7 string, and sounds like an 8 string. It just nails all the right frequency ranger, everything comes through clear and defined, and it's a work of art.
The 8 with tone chambers simply beat the shit out of any guitar i've ever heard, full, clear, brilliant note dfefinition, and surprisingly easy to play and get used to the fan frets. The 8 also has those staggered humbuckers in it, which sound fucking amazing, even though I think i still prefer the sound of the first fanned 8 he made, which I'd literally kill for!

I think if you want a non fanned fret it's less, but the fanned fret just sounds better, it really does get the sound right for each range, 6-7-8 string, just nails all of it! i can't stop raving about them. Man, I wash i had a mountain of cash!

I'd WOULD kill for a B7 but I don't think I'd pay what they ask for them
. Aren't they about $3000?

Oh, and with doug, there really isn't a standard option. No crazy inlays, he refuses to do finishes (as they impede the tone apparently).
Price is very largely dependant on the woods and ability to source them.

Yikes... that's definitely beyond my means. Perhaps someday though (hey rich aunt/uncle, die already!
).

Man, I think it's more than that, and the money is more than worth it. Literally, i said in another thread, they just make any high end guitar sound like a cut price stagg in compariason.

James, perhaps we should plan an extortion scheme?
Yeah man, I'm kind of glad I didn't get to play one like you have, or else I'd probably be selling off all my stuff (assuming I wouldn't do that anyways ).

The 6/7 strings are less. It's the fanned 8 that does cost more due to custom machined parts (like the bridge and pickups)

I'm trying hard not to come up with a plan of selling stuff just to get one. Every year i play one, they keep getting better, he just keeps learning and refining, it's scary!

He'll pretty much make anything, especially if it's a challenge.

I was quoted $3200 for a pretty basic, non-fanned B7. If it was a neck-thru, I'd say that was reasonable. But I can't justify that for a bolt-on. I think $1800 is my cap for a bolt-on... ie. RC7G.

They are very nice and Im waiting on a B2. The prices are entirely inflated by the exchange rate. They are about as much as a nicer strat in the Uk apprently.

Ah, it may be a bolt on, but he doesn't actually make neck throughs, again, it's a tone thing. Trust me, there's a reason for everything he does. And most of that goes on the woods and materials.

That's the fucker he had with him yesterday, quite simply amazing
He made it for himself though, so there's no chance of anyone getting their sticky mits on it!The things sounds absolutely sick, it really does!
