Location: Jet City		Letting go of the Tak 12 string. It's in excellent shape aside from the pictured ding on the headstock. I'm pretty sure it's from the 80's.

This is a REAL Takamine, made in Japan with solid top and back. It's not the cheaper "G" series.

Here are the specs from Takamine's site...

Body Shape: Dreadnought
Rosette: Ebony & Padauk
Top: Solid Spruce
Inlays: Dots
Back: Solid Mahogany
Sides: Mahogany
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Electronics: Graph-EX
Tuners: Chrome
Features: 12-String

$370 with an almost brand new hard case.

Location: Jet City		I think it sounds pretty good. I bought it specifically to use plug in on stage because I didn't want to continue to ding up the Custom Elite BCS. It doesn't hold a candle to the Elite, but very few wood-topped 12 strings do, plus the Elite's like 5 times more $.

We (coverband) haven't been giggin much lately and I'm in a bit of a crunch right now or I'd be hanging on to it. It plays really nice which is why I got it. The actions good and the frets have hardly any wear. It's a great guitar really. I hate to see it go, but I'm sure once things smooth out I'll be getting a second 12er again.
