Location: Cherry Hill, NJ | I received my LX 12 string today. I picked it up at Al's. Luckly, it came in, in less than a week. I'm a big convert to the LX upgrade and the LX 12 exceeded my expectations. Besides the louder,and lighter, features, it is the easiest playing (action and neck) 12 string I ever played. Perhaps because the neck is wider than a 6 string, the round neck shape, that is a feature of LX guitars, is less pronounced. This makes for easier fingering. Anyone who plays a 12 for any lenght of time knows the wear on the fingers. The Legend features make for a smoother playing, beautiful guitar. I'll be playing this baby a lot.

When the multi-hole LX 12 hits the street I'll be having some serious GAS pains. |

Based on your recent acquisition, this one should count as a multi-hole. Let the G.A.S. games begin! |

Location: Upper Left USA | Yes, I have the catalog those are in. I would love to get my hands around one. I will reserve the hard GAS pains for a natural top in the LX series though.
Give Brother Bobbie a call and ask him what he means by "Gorgeous Solid Spruce Top". Black is beautiful baby! |

Location: NW NJ | Yeah, most of the time I think that Brother Bobbie is out of his mind with his pricing especially and with his failure to proofread the ads that his people write for their listings. BUT, that black on black T (with 6 or 12 strings) from the front, straight on, is stunning. Add the contrast of that beautiful maple neck and the fact that it'll never show a fingerprint or smudge ... oh WOW, what an elegant guitar! |

Location: NW NJ | I know ... in this case Brother Bobbie surprises me. But in this case:
Brother Bobbie Out of His Mind
he's out of his mind. I bought one from Al for a friend of mine for $850 delivered, and another one for me from Victor Litz for about $800 delivered. Oh well, maybe someone will pay that much ... |

With Bro Bobby, you want to read, read, and reread. Then read it again... |

| As an FRG that sells for $999.00?? Isn't that wishful thinking? |
