Mike Sankey "Black Swan" - Multi-Scale, Headless, 7-String, Ergonomic guitarDespite the ergonomics and multi-scale fretboard of this wonderful guitar, worsening arthritis over the last several years has simply made playing 7-string guitars too uncomfortable.  As such, I am selling off the 7-string instruments from my arsenal.Regarding the guitar itself, the build quality is fantastic - take a look at Mike's website gallery to see what this guy is doing. Unbelievable work! I will have another at some point! The instrument is really in perfect condition. I had the bridge Lace pickup changed because I wanted a little more/thicker midrange, so I had a Lundgren pickup installed (fantastic pickup BTW!). Yeah, it looks like an EMG, but it's all passive goodness. Zero fretwear. I also had a set up done in advance of this sale.Better pics and additional info here:
