This Novax CH8 is brand new and features a mahogany body, ebony fretboard and stereo outputs for bass and guitar!

"The  Charlie Hunter 8-string guitar is a result of the collaborative design  efforts of Charlie Hunter and Ralph Novak. All critical specifications -  scale lengths, electronics and pickups, string spacing and neck  dimensions - are the same as Charlie Hunter's current instrument.  Charlie and Ralph perfected this 8-string guitar by investing years of  careful analysis of numerous prototypes. This unique instrument allows  you to drive the rhythm section with solid, deep bass while comping or  soloing rich guitar riffs at the same time, live. Both registers have  clarity and tone unmatched by conventionally fretted instruments thanks  to the Fanned-Fret® system. Now, you can explore new musical horizons  offered only by the Charlie Hunter 8-string."
