i have a 14 string tapper built for me by krappy about a year and a half ago up for sale. despite my best intentions, i have used it hardly at all, and it needs a good home. i started my own business (tattoo parlor) 7 months ago and i could use the money pretty seriously, too. the package includes a stereo stickish guitar tuned uncrossed parallel 4ths. the bass side is B to f, the treble is A to eb (a major seventh higher). the lowest strings for both sides are in the middle of the fret-board. the action is a wee bit high, it could use some set-up work, and you may just want to re-string it to your preference. it has dual trussrods, a unique carved wood laminate lap-bar, and is made of oak, cherry, and maple laminates. kevin spent a lot of time on this, it is a very cool instrument, i feel bad for not living up to it's potential. string spacing is narrow-ish, the whole board is 5" wide (again, much like a 7 string bass at the nut). there are no dots, so you can put your own on wherever you like them. there are no strap buttons, although you could mount some if you want. the back profile is stickish as well, rather than rounded. i paid $750 with shipping and all, so make an offer if interested. if anyone has any questions let me know. thanks.
