Wow Eiji. You must have the record for lost serial number request threads. 

Have you posted any pictures?

Hi Mica,

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

[mica]

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?
