I'm still new at this... I didn't know they made a
12 String Elite T

It is Down Under, and I ain't buying... but any information on these would be appreciated.

I think that's a 6758t-5.. 2 or 3 years old.. I've always wanted a "stealth" 12, almost did buy a new one from BB, but then the wife gently reminded me of how many other 12s are in the house...

fingerprint proof.. and that finish is hard to hurt.
Al has it's 6 string Brother and these are nice..

the older ones have OP40s the newer have OP50s or OP PROs

oops.. it says 1868-t.... so I could be wrong again... rtfm Glenn, but either way...

great elite tone... and bass side only eps... these will pump out some sound.

That's something else you don't see every day. And now I've seen two such guitars today. I reckon it might be a boring week, if the law of averages plays out...

Sure looks like a mid-bowl from the pictures. I don't think they made the SS Elite T as a 12'er. And if you look at his copy/paste of the specs, it's for the 1868T 6 string, as the nut is listed as 1 11/16"; a 12 would be 1 13/16 or 1 3/4".

I did a quick search when I saw this, and I sure could find another. Pretty Cool, huh? It may be a custom build, I don't know.
(That's why I asked) I may want one of them someday.

Elite T is in the pricelist as 6758T (mid-bowl) and 2058T (contour bowl) at a list price of $1549. Guitar Trader and World Music Supply list the 2058T as in stock. Finding a 2058T might be harder.

I spoke with the seller he corrected the information in his ad. Looks like it might be in excellent condition, virtually new.

This is the second time it was listed, initially listed at $1200 no bids first time around. I made him an offer but wouldn't accept it.
I see he got some interest this time around.
Nice guitar

Well, he sure beat the $1200 price this time around... was worth it for someone named 'Trudi'..
