Mobius Megatar - Tapping guitar / bass similar to Chapman Stick

Sign in to disble this ad
This doesn't really belong here, but maybe there are some curious folks interested in tapping instruments?

Selling my Mobius Megatar Tapping Guitar. This is a really interesting instrument, kind of a cross between a guitar and bass but designed to be played by tapping instead of picking or strumming. Includes a fitted gig bag, setup tools, and a method book.

Mobius Megatar MaxTapper
Mahogany body and neck
Rosewood fretboard
12 strings
Dual Bartolini humbuckers wired in stereo
Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup
34" scale
String-through body bridge with Graph-Tech saddles
Graph-tech nut
Meg-Strap system
Includes stereo cable and method book.

I had two of these, and I kept this one because it sounded and played better than the TrueTapper I had. They were both great instruments but 12 strings is too many for me. As you can see I have it strung with only eight strings, but string sets are available from Megatar online for around $37. I have a set of Chapman Stick strings that I could include, but they're "baritone melody" and that might not be your preferred tuning.

I'm only selling this because I purchased a Chapman Stick (10 string) that suits my style better. If I could buy a Megatar with 8 or 10 strings I would have! These guitars sound great for rock or metal, and work well in jazz or progressive styles as well. You can play this with a pick if you want, but the strings are a little tight for fingerstyle playing. It's definitely made for tapping, though.

Asking $750 plus shipping cash or PayPal. Local pickup near Raleigh, NC is cool. International sales are OK, too but shipping will be high.
