I've been wandering around the web the last couple days and came across a couple of very cool high end brands which are really making me wish I wasn't broke Laughing

Hufschmid Guitars, based in Switzerland

The neck joint is a thing of beauty...

Also found Halo Custom Guitars who offer a 10 string, with Kahler to boot Shocked

I barely can wrap my mind around playing a 7 string let alone a 10. Shocked

Rondo Music's Agile Interceptor looks shockingly similar to those 8 strings pictured... Laughing

It better at that price eh?

If you think that's bad, though, just look at Musician's Friend... over at AGF there was a post about a Gibby Korina Explorer on clearance for "only" $7999. Makes the R9 LP look like a steal at $5999 Laughing

With that many strings, why not just get a harp? Since it was made in Switzerland does it taste like chocolate?

Well, I can see you guys aren't big on the boutique Euro guitars... Laughing

Here's a comparable Agile, like HendrixFan mentioned. Being neck-thru is even better. I have to say, the Interceptor has always been a stunner for me in both 7 and 8 string versions. The trans red is the most vivid to my eyes.

I still don't know what I would do with the extra strings Rolling Eyes

I really liked the 6-string interceptor, wish I had had money to buy one when they were around.
