Warr Guitars Artist 10 For Sale or Trade

dolbydj1005

Hello!

I'm looking to sell my Warr Guitars Artist 10 string tapping instrument. It's in fantastic condition, just deserves to be played more! Looking for £2000 but will consider trades for Fenders!

The 10 strings are tuned in the Trey Gunn Crafty setup, inverted bass strings in 5ths the melody strings also in 5ths apart from the last string which is up a minor 3rd from it's neighbour.

The body is mahogany with a curly maple top. The neck is a 7 piece laminate consisting of mahogany, maple and wenge, the fretboard is also wenge.
Scale length is 34". There are a couple of small blemishes on the rear of the body nothing that affects the look or playability of the instrument. The Warr is equpped with two magnetic Bartolini pickups and 10 piezo pickups in the custom bridge unit. The 5 melody strings are also connected to the Roland style 13 pin output to allow connection to various devices such as the Roland GR55. The instrument is strung up with new custom Newtone strings and I will also include two spare sets of these strings. The headstock is fitted with Sperzel locking tuners. The control knobs are also made from wenge.

For completeness I will mention that there was a small round indentation on the neck side when I bought the instrument from the original owner, This has been almost totally fixed by a steaming process and is now all but unnoticeable.

The Warr comes with all the tools, the aforementioned spare string sets and a Ritter gig bag (the original had seen better days).

I reckon with exchange rates what they are currently and with all import duties/taxes this instrument would cost over £4500 now

You are definitely going to need to post some pictures of the beast on here if you want to get a sniff

That is awesome.

You can't buy Warr's now as he has colon cancer and has stopped building, for now at least,

It's a lovely instrument. Just doesn't get used enough. Needs to go to a good home. I heard the sad news. Hopefully he'll be back making his pieces of art soon!

Looks amazing but I wouldn't know where to begin with something like that

Slowly.

That is a beautiful instrument. If only you'd said "will take a motley assortment of less valuable guitars in trade". Good luck with the sale and all that.

Sorry @dolbydj1005 it's not my bag - beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.
