Location: South of most, North of few | This guitar just came back from a 3 month spa treatment. New bowl and top with inlaid eppies and a brand new white pearl paint job. As new as it gets. I ended up buying another 1758-6 while this one was gone, (thanks Serge :rolleyes: ) and one of these has to go. Call me crazy, but after a lot of thought, I decided to keep the older one and put this one up. Anyway, I just spent a ton to get it back and the factory did their usual magic on it to make it as new. I'll ship it for $800.00 with ohsc. This is a one of a kind git at a one of a kind chance. Beautiful tone. One of the best sounding 12 strings you will ever play.
It's the one on the right with a neck...

(Sorry, couldn't resist. I wish I was shopping for a 12-string. Looks like this one is a serious steal for someone). |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I've got too many irons in the fire now Jim (one cooked, two more cookin', and one marinatin'), or I'd take it back from you. It's worth the money and then some. I'd wish you good luck, but I don't think you'll need it with this one.
BTW, I told you it needed walnut eppis. Then you wouldn't have even had to advertise it. You could have just showed it to Johnny for 5 seconds, shut the lid, and told him you wouldn't open it again until he cut you a check. Come to think of it, it probably wouldn't have taken the whole 5 seconds. :D
Man that's a pretty guitar!
And it looks great too! ;) |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | The angst and devotion in this project is really another great OFC side story. Talk about faith in the Mother Ship! And again, they came through with stunning results.
TJ went with the traditional/original look, and too be honest, he was right. I had the chance to send this one in, and if I had, it would have had inlaid walnut eppis as the distinguishing feature.
BTW Patch, I still say you can sell ice cubes (and the refrigerators) to Eskimos! 
Some may ask, "Jim, why not keep this 'un?" Well his older one is so sweet and mature, no one should blame him. But c'on, he's not even a 12er...
If ya want a fabulous 12er, as new, this is it!  |

Location: Colorado | Walnut eppies would have looked perfect on this guitar.
I showed it to SWMBO (since I would like to get a 12) and she said in a breathy voice, "You need to buy that." I wish. She said something but I don't remember what it was.
Best of luck with the sale Jim. |

But of course, the Sad Part is that I just spent all my stray money on an NEB Elite... :mad:
