Stock and used instruments
Since all our instruments are custom made for the customers we rarely have instruments on stock. But sometimes there are instruments that have been used on stage for just one specific tour, demo instruments for trade shows or instruments we’ve done as prototypes. These instruments are listed here. Each instrument will get a fresh service before shipping. The instruments listed here can be shipped within two weeks after payment. It is your chance to get an instrument without the usual lead time.
U8 Deluxe - "deep purple" (used - good condition)
This beautiful U8 Deluxe has been used for several years by Stefan Huth. It was his main touring guitar and has some dents and scratches. Please ask for detail pics. It has also been used on the ISAAC VACUUM and the Spur records as well as Stephan Thelens “Fractal Guitar 2 and 3”. The frets are brand new and the playability is just amazing. It features the first DELANO pickups we ever used and has a transparent purple color which almost looks like it is black. In sunlight you can still see the grain of the mahogany. This guitar will be polished and it will get new strings and a fresh setup before shipping. This is your chance to get a U8 Deluxe model with all the classic features at the price point of an entry level U8.

U8 - buckeye burl "Cycfi" (used - mint condition)
This is one of the first U8 models that we did manufactured with the help of cnc machines. It still features the ABM bridge design before switching to Hipshot hardware. Initially it was meant to be a demo guitar for the Cycfi multichannel* pickup system and their mono XR pickups. We also did a fretboard binding for the first time. The instrument is in a very good condition and has been used for trade shows and demos within the last years. A lot of players touched it since these days.

U8 - cream white (new - stock)
This U8 was the first guitar we did with our friends of Haven Pickups from Berlin, Germany. The retro design does not represent the modern sound it has.
