I have here an 8 string touch style guitar (strung B to Bb) for sale. I could let it go for $600 shipped to the continental US. The string spacing is pretty tight, like a Chapman Bass Stick or a classical guitar. It has a few dings but works fine. It was made for me by
http://krappyguitars.com/ last year. I've been dreaming about a Stick for years but I'm afraid it's a bit beyond my grasp. It's mono, I bought nice sounding EMG soapbar pup for him to install (his standard arrangement is two EMG humbuckers sticking way out either side of the strings which I didn't like the looks of). It sounds great! Some of the construction is a bit crude but it works and for about 1/3 of the price and 1/24 of the wait of a Chapman Stick. I can post more pics if anyone is interested.
I might be interested in a trade for a really nice multi-effect (Lexicon, Eventide, Line 6, etc) or maybe a fretless P bass or a decent 6 string (+/-$ as appropriate) but cash is best.
