Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I just got myself a Celebrity 12-String. Came home from work to a big box in the Lobby. I'm the only one who gets guitar sized boxes, So...
It is an SSB, so I can be quiet and mellow for my neighbors. But it has an OP24+, so I can make noise too...
I found this while getting prepared to sell something to pay to get my Pacemaker fixed.
(So much for that idea)
I figured this would hold-me-over till I got the 1115 back.
I'm Happy, and I just wanted to Share. (Brag!) :cool: |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Thanks Vic. I have no idea what strings are on there, cuz I just got it. But he sent me a set of Martin Marquis 80/20 Bronze. (.010 to .047)
Wadda minnut! That ain't what's on there, cuz what's on there has D'Addario rainbow-balls! :D
Whatever they are, I gotta get me another set. Cuz I think that I like them better than the Adamas 1212's that I have been using (cuz they are real cheap on da Baaa) |

The SSB has its advantages. Like playing an electric.
I have a CC059 Nylon string. Sounds good unplugged. Plugged in with the OP20 :D
I might be unloading the CC059 once I get my 1114 since I have a Country Artist.
I'm running out of room. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I can relate to the "running outta room part!"
Yeah, SSB's don't have the acoustic volume, but so long as they plug-in, you're cool! :cool:
(I think that they ALL plug-in, don't they?)
I just got me a cheap set of studio headphones, y'know, with the donut earmuffs, so I can play with my SSB's with effects and all that stuff without everybody in the building hating me.
But for me this 12 will be good for practice and farting around until I get the 1115 back.
Plus, I can plug this in for Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, etc.
All that Artsy stuff!
I might add, This thing is surprisingly heavy for what it is, and in really good condition. It is 10 years old or so. The previous owner pulled all the shims outta this thing, and may have shaved the saddle. When I change the strings, I gonna try to put one shim in, get the strings off of the bridge. See what happens...
This is a really Nice Guitar! I am quite satisfied!
As to the photo... I don't know why I cannot take a picture without making a weird face.
Comes from my Childhood, I guess... Remember the poor dude trying to take those school Photographs? :rolleyes: |
