Hey, guys! I'm looking for another RIckenbacker single neck 8-string and having a heck of a time. Please shoot me a PM if you see one somewhere, or if ya have one you'd part with. I put a note in the "Wanted" section, but not everyone looks at that. Thanks!

Well, a few guys PM'ed me about double eights ... and thanks.
But I'm actually after single 8-strings, bakelite preferred, but a nice used Clinesmith single 8, or Fender 8-string Deluxe could work.. Thanks!

| 8 string bakelites seem to be quite rare. Only one I know about belongs to Bobby Ingano. Sevens are a bit more common.... |

| The sevens are a lot more playable too, they have the same string spacing as the six strings. The string spacing on the 8-strings is way too tight for me. |

I could try a 7 string if you have one--PM me. And, please: only message me if you have something or know of something available. I already know they're relatively rare, but they're not Bigfoot (I have one, I'm trying to find another for a friend). Appreciated.
