After what seems like forever (actually close to a year), I am heading out the door now to FINALLY pickup my custom made 12 string from local luthier Scott Baxendale. I posted up some early construction photos several months ago and will try to post up some finished photos by the weekend! I am so EXCITED I think I will sh#%^ my britches on the way to his shop! More to follow............ | ||

I suppose it is the spruce under the binding that causes the top to flash redder than the bottom binding which is backed by the rosewood. | ||

BTW: I forgot, why did you install the "69" soundhole? | ||

I am attempting to record some sound clips but I just changed out some equipment and of course I somehow f*^$ked something up. I will give a full review this weekend and compare it to the Adamas 1688 (Big Blue) but I can tell you that it sounds amazing! | ||
