Ok, this is a little strange being this is blade forums and not guitar forums. But I see classy guitars come through here ever now and again too so I'm going to list my knives for trade for a Guitar just in case. Look at my recent threads in my profile for other knives I have for trade but can't quite relist at the moment because they are too newly added to the forums. I'll eventually put them in here as well.
Really looking for a good acoustic right now. Cutaways are a plus, barn door electronics are e negative. I like Taylor, Martin, Breedlove, Epiphone Masterbilt, and most other quality makers.
Also could swing at a good electric from Fender, Gibson, or Jackson. I'll even consider some Epiphone Les Pauls. Would love to get my hands on a silverburst Les Paul like James Iha played.
Just let me know what you got. Here is what I have to offer currently
1.Got a good condition BATAC here. Black G-10. It's had it's coating stripped and a semi hand rub finish on the main bevel. Has a bead blasted type treatment to the blade. The steel had scratches and marks under the coating but they were there when the blade was coated at Busse. It hasn't really seen much action. I've carried it around in my bag for a few months. The most substantial thing it's cut is I used it to strip some bark off of some pine logs. Other than that it's been just a bag knife. Put a nice convex edge on it by hand with my JRE EMS system. It's very sharp.

2. David Mosier Recurve. According to Mr. Mosier he only made 2 of these. One was satin finished and this one was hand rubbed. He also said he'd never hand rub a blade this large again as it was FAR too labor intensive. So I consider this one to be the more desirable finish of the two as it was done by hand. It's about 3/16ths thick with around a 12" blade and is lightening fast. It would make one hell of a head remover simply because it moves so quick, is well balanced for a knife it's size, and is razor sharp. It's made of CPM S30V and is an amazing piece. It's the only one like it anywhere. Nice Kydex sheath too. Unused, has some kydex marks but other than that... it's a safe queen. Has file work on the butt which I thought was cool... make a nasty impact weapon on the bottom. The lanyard in the pic is gone.
