Hufschmid Blackdroid

This is a 100% handmande instrument, built painstakingly in Switzerland by one man- Patrick Hufschmid. It is an absolute dream to play and listen to. I played her non-stop when I first got her for 6 hours and just couldn't put her down. The sound is absolutely IMMENSE.

Condition:

The guitar is in excellent physical and mechanical shape. There is one very small ding on the tip of the headstock that is barely noticeable (pictured) and the electronics cavity plate has expanded, making the plate hard to remove. I gather that is where the nic came from on the furthest side of it (pictured).

Originality:

Guitar is 100% all original.
Guitar will ship in a form fit hardshell case.
Any questions/comments/want references, please just ask! I will be happy to help!

Specs:

Body- Sipo Mahogany
Neck- Sipo Mahogany
Fretboard- Bloodwood (absolutely gorgeous)
Pickups-Kent Armstrong/Hufschmid custom design
Tuners and Bridge are both hipshot
24 fret, Baritone scale, handmade

pointy.

No likey the headstock. Apart from that, it looks suspiciously like a Blackmachine. Pretty hot though (apart from said headstock)

 

[jelloman]

They had me until "baritone scale"...

 

[Deep Eddy]

Super Strat/Shred guitars are not my thing. The wood and finish look nice.

You can still play a baritone scale length guitar in standard tuning. You could actually use really light strings and the tension would be even.

Yeah...but with my sausage fingered midget hands I have a problem with the fret spacing...thus my love for Les Paul's et al...

This.

My hands aren't big enough, 25.5" is enough of a stretch already for me.

 

[bcryant]

Nah.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Yeah...but with my sausage fingered midget hands I have a problem with the fret spacing...thus my love for Les Paul's et al...

That's bullshit. If I can play baritone and bass with my tiny girl hands, so can you.

As for the guitar, I'd check it out.

 

[CBHScott]

Seems fine enough, but nothing groundbreaking.

Yeah! If Howies tiny girl hands can make it work so can yours!

and "meh"

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I'd check it out. Looks kinda cool for what it is.

 

[LittleSnakes]

Not my thing.

 

[Chad]

I don't really dig the looks of it. I would like to know what they consider "baritone scale" Is it 30", 27" or somewhere in between. I don't think I could play a 30" like a guitar, I would probably play it as a bass but a if it was 27" I could probably still swing it.

 

[Tig]

Jello, no matter how tempting it may be, please don't play with Howie's tiny girl hands.

 

[Tralfaz]

Not my thing. The name, however, is epic... Hufschmid Blackdroid!

 

[jaxn slim]

Not really my aesthetic. But it looks ok.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I like it better than that overly black ESP baritone from yesterday.
