Last I heard was by the end of March.

AL can probably give a more current update.

This doesn't bode well for getting the OFC guitar by the 4th quarter of this year. Sounds like it's going to be closer to a year from now.

As to the OFC guitar, I think that an indicator is when the # 47 starts delivery...assuming Adamas I reissue is prior, factory will already have the pre-amp. If the # 47 and the OFC are basically the same except for color and pre-amp, basically 12-16 would just have a different color and a couple of drilled holes.

IMHO, April is a commendable delivery date for the 12-string, considering everything else they are doing.

Too late Tony, I already had a 12 string GAS heart attact and you are sued big time. You better get those fingers under control when you are discussing life threatening subjects like 12 strings. You will hear from my lawyer, Muddy Slime Judge Kisser, a blues player like the rest of us.

it is because you are mainly an electric player that you don't get it. the 12 fret repositions the bridge on the body and the slot headstock gives a more angle over the nut changing the string pressure so you get more sound out of the guitar acoustically.
