Not shown were 2 more GC models, 4 Adamas 12 strings and 3 Hurricanes. How many 12 strings can one man play? So most have been sold off. All that remains is the U681-12 (the best adamas 12 of the lot), a hurricane and an A braced rebuilt 1115. I think Bobbo might have the small hole 12 from the photo above. | ||

My black 12 is only twice what you usually pay for the 6's and probably 1/2 of what a custom order would have cost. Maybe we should explore trading vipers.I'm not sure if the EA Vipers are still in production, and if not, I don't know if the factory will still make custom orders of this model. | ||
