 Handmade 7-String for sale
Hey everyone-- I just put an ad for this up in St. Louis Craigslist, but I thought since everyone here is so nice and helpful I'd give you all a crack at it too. I'm selling my 7-string jazzbox because I really just can't play it, and the more I listen to the greats, the more I feel like I just don't want to either. Anyway, it's made by a guy named Fred Schmedeman who lives in the Greater St. Louis area. It's essentially an archtop acoustic w/ a Benedetto S7 floating pickup. The important dimensions are: lower bout width: 17' scale length: 25' rim depth: 3' overall length: about 43-44' It is all solid wood, spruce top and flame maple back & sides, 5 pc. maple neck (mahogany or walnut accent stripes), ebony tailpiece, bridge, and fingerboard. It plays & sounds great, the only thing I'm not sure of is on the bridge. The notch for the low A string is pretty deep, like 3/32 or something. It doesn't affect anything, and I don't know, maybe it's supposed to be notched deeper for the larger diameter string. It is currently set up w/ Thomastik-Infeld flats (12-50) with a TI low A (70 or 75). Asking $1750. I'll ship it for actual shipping costs after cleared payment (Paypal always welcome!!) or if you're in the St. Louis, MO area you can come pick it up. Any questions, just ask. The third picture is supposed to be the bridge showing the Low-A notch.
