Searls - My First 8 String


Recommended Posts

Good to see more progress on this one.

Things have been slow on all my builds. At the moment - if you include a build that someone else is doing in my workshop there are six guitars being built at the same time ... so the love is shared out a bit and I've been trying to knock a couple of the closer to completion ones on the head.

I'm pretty keen to see the end of this SS8 though - it's been dragging its heels!

This thing can sit to the side for another six months while I finish the rest of this pile.
