I emailed him a while back. I haven’t heard anything yet.

I’m sure the price will be up there.

There’s a used 5 on Reverb for $3000 CDN. i was expecting higher TBH.

I’m digging this design more and more as time goes on.

Here you go, @faydout. Ikebe has a truly nice BB1200 listed.

Ikebe ships internationally and will deal with you in English. They are reputable, and in fact are my go-to chain; I have bought several instruments from them. A few others have bought internationally from them. There’s an international contact link in the listing. The listed price is about $875 with a generic hard case. I would anticipate shipping to be $200-300.

Gustav preorders each set from Newtone Strings based on the tuning the customer wants.

Newtone strings were my go-to for my steel string acoustics. Really fine PB strings.

i was actually going to try to get one when they came out, they had a huge promo push for them. lots of online review videos. than i discovered that they hadn’t set up any US distributors. brilliant business plan iz brilliant. i think they now have one, but i no longer care. edit: yep, they do.

Oh wow, I don’t know anything about them. Apparently it’s a Hosco brand; I didn’t know Hosco made instruments at all. I own a few of their luthier tools.

Love the shape, but prefer the Dingwall rounded pickups.

Yes, they are clearly targeting the Dingwall “segment”.

I kinda dig the angular-sexy look… but then, I am a bit of a Mayones fanboy :joy:
