Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Making room for a Custom 12 String and offering this guitar to the OFC.
This is a pure acoustic with factory retro-fitted GS Deep Bowl, Beautiful burst spruce top and the famed A-brace 12 string tone. The neck is original and has a 'Woody" trc. Bowl and Top are in Excellent condition. Neck has some minor nicks and dings. Frets/board in very good condition and the action is OutFriggingStanding. This is a smooooooooove playing guitar.
... Now, The sound. This guitar is well known to 12 string fans at the OFC tours and other gatherings. It is a Killer. Everyone who has played it has had universal praise for it.
Comes with the original hard shell brown case which is in good functional condition but, has certainly seen some road wear... esp. the compartment lid but, still functions. All clasps hinges and handles are in good working order
$475 shipped in the ConUS.
Pics can been seen by clicking "guitar" icon in my sig line. |

Recently the border patrol uncovered an extensive maze of tunnels in Nogales AZ coming from under the boarder. Ironically all the footprints in the dirt were heading TOWARDS Mexico ... |

I mean outside of the 6" wide neck of course? |

I played this a couple of years ago and was mightily impressed back them. I've owned plenty of 1115 and 1118 guitars but this is the first one that REALLY has Adamas playability. I wish my Telecaster had as good action. And the sound is just out of this world. The A-Brace top makes all the difference. Screw that 12-string "fan" bracing and all that crap, THIS is the only way to go.
Bar NONE, the best wood topped 12-string I've ever played. The U681-12 still takes top honor for rumbling your testicles, this sunburst A-bracer stops someplace near the top of your scrotum. But we're splitting hairs here.
Jeff, I took advantage of a weak market and I really ripped you off badly. My apologies. This was just TOO good to pass up.

Location: SoCal | Dave, why do you think that when I had my 69 GC 12'er rebuilt, I had the top A braced? Temp has one as well. They are really outstanding, and not to rub salt into the wounds of those that have fan braced 12 string guitars, but there is really no comparison.
Also doesn't hurt that mine has Adirondack spruce ont he top...... |
