Hi Mica,

Did you make Series II Scorpion 8 strings in the past?

We don't keep track of specific model and body shape configurations, Matteo. But we certainly must have made some Series II 8-string Scorpions in the past.

Any chance of some Series I/II/Signature/Aniversary 8-string Scorpions in the future?
