Now it could be a 1655 balladeer 12 sting, but I never knew balladeers, especially 12 strings came with a slothead. I emailed seller, but jumped here to get the 'real' lowdown. The only other quirky thing is the headstock is sunburst while the body is in natural. I am not looking to buy this if anyone else is interested, just curious. thanks, mike Capo Guy Posted 2005-08-09 8:11 PM (#141050 - in reply to #141049) Subject: Re: slothead 12 string balladeer???

I have a -1 1118 Glen Campbell and the neck looks the same. Pickguard.....yuck.

If they were talking about MJ he would have said, "infrequent and unnatural". Beal Posted 2005-08-11 8:26 AM (#141058 - in reply to #141049) Subject: Re: slothead 12 string balladeer???
