7 String Egan "They Ear" 15" Archtop

I am Joe Egan, the builder of this unique instrument. I have a small workshop where I build instruments carefully and patiently in small numbers. This guitar encompasses a lot the things I like as a player and definitely has a unique voicing. It would be considered more of an electric instrument and with the Benedetto S7 it has a very well balanced voiced with tons of depth for the extra low string to ring out and build complex chordings.

I am open to offers, and I give discounts to working professional musicians.
(serious offers only please)

Feel free to inquire with any questions
 
That looks extremely uncomfortable.
And awkward.
And ugly.
And misshapen.
And what's up with the bridge/tailpiece?

No offense to the guy who made it, but he needs to put down the bong.

He might as well just design a new kind of musical instrument, he'd be better off.

Terrible.
 
I would try it if I saw it. I'm intrigued by fanned frets and can appreciate what the builder is trying to do. I am not keen on the burst finish on the back and the pickguard.
 
I like the body. Give it to me with 6 strings and non fanned frets and I would rock it.
 
There are some interesting things he did with that. Some work visually, some don't. I would love to play one of those though, even though I have no need of a 7 string.

I love it, but am not of the ability level to take any real advantage of its uniqueness.

Also, I would seriously offer him $500 for it despite my belief that it is likely far more valuable than dollar value.
