The photo isn't much help, but this appears to be an S-8. Nice discounted price at $500 w/case, though most everything else on the website is unrealistically overpriced.

I'd ask for many more photos before springing for that guitar, but it looks like it could potentially be a deal. Thanks for sharing!

I thought I could see eight tuners if I squinted, but I could be wrong.

I called the store yesterday evening--the guy at GC said he'd check the number of strings and call me back before closing. Of course, he didn't. Typical GC "customer service."

Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who happens to read this today. I'm thankful for b0b and all the good stuff I get from SGF members on this site.

Thats a six stringer FWIW. The spacing of the tuners is the giveaway, the 8 stringers are closer together.

Happy T-day everyone!

Thanks, Jon--you saved me a trip to that store when I happened to be in that part of the world yesterday. I was a little curious to see it anyway, but I'm not that interested in a 6 at the moment.
