Looking for a Stringmaster style single neck 8-string. Also interested in Champs.
Will absolutely consider other makes, like RIckenbacker.7 and 8 strings. Thanks! _________________ Remington Steelmaster S8 w/ custom Steeltronics pickup.

Thanks: I checked it out but it's $2,000 and is not in very good shape. The plates are pitted, the pot was replaced, the case doesn't have a handle, etc., etc.

I really don't see anything wrong with the headstock but the neck looks a little crowded for 7 strings.

Yup,Erv. There's no doubt in my mind that the neck width (and nut) is the same as the 6-string. The Rickenbacker bakelite 7-strings are the same nut width as the 6-strings. Checked last night. _________________ Remington Steelmaster S8 w/ custom Steeltronics pickup. Vox MV-50 amplifier + an 1940's Oahu cab w/ 8" American Vintage speaker. J.
