Interesting concept! I'm curious what's under the hood. It said it has a "massive built-in pickup". What's that mean?

I dunno, Geoff, I think I need to sell rather than buy. Plus I have enough trouble with ONE 8-string neck.

Kinda neat. Looks like it would be a bear to tune with all the tuner knobs so close together. Wonder what year it is (?)

Whoever got it should be embarrassed and giddy for snagging it at under $400. Today's Ebay chicken dinner winner!
