This has been my practice guitar for more than 10 years and has never left the house; it's immaculate except for a few bar dings. It has an unusual copedent which you might care to try, especially if you're tackling universal tuning for the first time. If not, these instruments are easy to work on so you could configure it any way you like. I seem to recall it cost about £4k, so I'm looking for 3. You will be aware of what superb instruments these are, and this a great opportunity to acquire one. More detailed photos in due course.
The setup starts with Day pedals on the E9. I have always played this way round and it has definite benefits on a uni: the C pedal is out of the way until you need it, whereas the A has uses in B6.
P6 is on a lever as it does too little to merit a pedal. P5 & P7 next to each other are much like A&B on the E9, and I use a lot of 13th chords. The centre vertical raises 9 a half step; this is the most used change on P8, so having it on the vertical means that P5-8 are all available without any two-footing. In particular the 5-7-8 combination is incredibly easy instead of really awkward. Also A, 5 and the vertical give the equivalent of the 3rd raise on C6, without the need of a special lever.
I want to avoid the hassle of shipping if I can, so collection would be favourite, followed by delivery within a reasonable radius, or a midway handover. I live between J2-3 of the M42, so pretty accessible.
