Just a little more info since I've been asked by a couple of folks: This is Ted Smith's top-of-the-line 8-string, the pickup is a dual-coil Lawrence, and the strings are through-body. The guitar is in flawless, as-new condition. A soft case is included.

Thanks,
Gary G.

A couple of additional details since I'd been asked by several folks: Scale length 24.5"; string spacing 5/16"; weight 7 lbs. And due to lots of photo requests, I've made it easy and placed a few here: http://www.geocities.com/gary_geers/CC8_photos.html

Having just bought another guitar a couple of weeks ago, I'm not in the market for another just yet, but can certainly recommend this instrument to anyone looking for a high quality single-8.
The CC is one great sounding, great playing guitar!
