For sale is my beloved Novax Charlie Hunter solid body 8 string guitar/bass. This was designed by Ralph Novak and Charlie Hunter, and is tuned E-A-D (lowest 3 strings of a bass) A-D-G-B-E (highest 5 strings of a guitar). It is equipped with fantastic Bartolini pickups and has two outputs, one for the guitar side and one for the bass side. It has two volume knobs, again, one for guitar and one for bass, a three way selector switch for the pickups and a gorgeous ebony fanned fretboard.
This instrument is in mint condition, no scratches, scrapes, dings, or anything of the kind. It comes with the original hard shell case, and is strung with La Bella Tape Wound bass strings and Daddario Chromes .11 flatwound guitar strings.
Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for looking!
Per Ralph Novax Website:
" The Charlie Hunter 8-string guitar is a result of the collaborative design efforts of Charlie Hunter and Ralph Novak. All critical specifications - scale lengths, electronics and pickups, string spacing and neck dimensions - are the same as Charlie Hunter's current instrument. Charlie and Ralph perfected this 8-string guitar by investing years of careful analysis of numerous prototypes. This unique instrument allows you to drive the rhythm section with solid, deep bass while comping or soloing rich guitar riffs at the same time, live. Both registers have clarity and tone unmatched by conventionally fretted instruments thanks to the Fanned-Fret® system. Now, you can explore new musical horizons offered only by the Charlie Hunter 8-string. "
