THE BLACK WIZARDS
Assuming you haven't played one...I would say stay away from that thing. I was stoked to see it come out, but when I played it I was extremely disappointed. Far from what you would expect. For the record, Misha (bulb) is selling his, check his myspace page (I think it's myspace.com/bulbmusic) and look in his blogs, you will see it listed there for sale.

I've played two of them, and even though the neck is kind of thin, I still liked them a lot. The F#-string is horrible with stock strings though. I'm getting it just to get used to an 8-string, I'm eventually probably going to sell it when I receive my custom 8 (dunno when, the luthier hasn't mailed me for like 3 or 4 months maybe he's got problems with doing the fanned frets or something).
Yeah, I know Misha is selling his, but I'm located in Finland, so with all the taxes and shipping etc. buying it would end up costing me a lot more than a new one. That, and I got a good deal on it (under 800, new ones are like 1500 here. It's about $1000 so it's cheaper than bulb's too, and it's in mint condition just like bulb's).
I wasn't going to buy a new guitar originally at all, I just messaged the seller about it with my offer because I momentarily just tought it was a cool idea, and he agreed to sell it well, I can always buy a Redeye and a Padkontrol later. Maybe I'll order the Padkontrol from DV along with a Microkorg XL when it's released.
