Default CF Electric Sighted

Composite Acoustics Blade alert: another Blade has come up for sale. This one is Serial No. B-26, an early model with the removable back. Also has a piano bridge and what appear to be pickup splitters added.

Might be fun to take a Blade to the Phoenix CF get-together, with a battery powered amp like the Micro Cube. Just sayin’

Well ... that sold fast.

Gotta think there’s a market for a NEW carbon fiber hollowbody or semi-hollow, priced under $2,000. Peavy has the molds. C’mon, it’s high time.

Or better yet, an Emerald thin bodied, hollow electric guitar. It'll cost a bit more with customization, but it'smore about the future than the past.

No worries and no thwacking intended. The more Smores the better. Need lots of energy to keep up with all the prate, prattle and prose slung around this place.

Seller is still dropping the price. $1,650 now. It’s heading towards a good deal. These typically sell for $1,200 to $1,400 or so. Hope I’m not violating a forum rule by bumping this up, but it is a rare carbon fiber guitar. I love mine! No affiliation with the seller and don’t know who it is.

FWIW here’s my older post about other Blades that have come up for sale recently:
