The pictures of course didn't show how filthy it had been kept. The case was worthless also, BUT after giving her a spa treatment (cleaning, massaging conditioners into her, fret oil, and a new set of strings) she has transformed into quite a beauty. The action has been adjusted super low, which I'll probably bring up just a little, and she plays and sounds every bit as good if not better than I expected. As you all said ... Deep bowl is the way to go! Super nice top also. I probably paid a little more than it was worth on the market, but it is exactly what I wanted in a 12-string, and I'm a happy camper.

I found a black 1759 (none-cutaway version of yours) a couple months back and have decided I won't need any other 12. Definitely a keeper. Glad it cleaned up so well for you!
