Location: SoCal | Of the wood 12-strings, I don't have experience with Pacemaker, Balladeer, or Elite 12's.
The Glen Campbell or the Custom Legend slotheads (more expensive, more "bling") are (IMHO) fantastic 12 strings. I believe that opinion is shared - notice that the GC is available as a reissue this year.
Hopefully, this guitar is as described by the seller. Several went for $750 last year. Getting harder each year to find one in good condition for a reasonable price. Seriously recommend consideration of the reissue or watch for one on eBay.
Last year made and list price:
1118 GC acoustic - 1981 $745
1618 GC a/e - 1981 $900
1158 Custom Legend acoustic - 1981 $1,020
1658 Custom Legend a/e - 1981 $1,200 |

Here's a similar model on ebay.

perhaps someone on the west coast could grab it for you and ship to the UK.
Or is flycastingdog one of us? |

Thought someone in southern CA could pick it up in person. then ship.
Maybe not a good idea after all.
BTW are all you folks in the northwest OK?
I hear you don't need humidifiers in your guitars for the time being. |

The Item is in South Carolina (Calorinia?). But I'm not that good at Geology!
:rolleyes: :D
Very rainy, occasional high winds but mostly mud, wet and darkness.
I wore my Aloha shirt to work in protest today.
Rage against the machine! |

No, they need drain plugs...a real advantage for the Elite line. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Not too far east of the west coast, we have a huge hole in the ceiling from where the rain blew in around the chimney flashing. But it's still only 32% in the basement with the guitars. Tough here in the desert. A half inch in one day is a big deal. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | Lots of rivers and creeks at or above flood stage. The occasional road closure due to mud slide or deep water. A few "sucks to be me" moments for people living in flood plains or on lots angled at 45 degrees or so.... but mostly just soggy. Thanks for asking! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Today is fix the hole in the ceiling day, but my wife thinks we should wait for the pro so that she gets a guarantee. It's been 2 weeks waiting for the pros and meanwhile all the heat is going out the ceiling.
Since the house is 10 years old and she wants to move, I don't see what good a guarantee will do, but I am applying the first rule of marriage (the guy always loses) and agreeing with her.
(In about 5 minutes she'll see me on the computer and say "I thought you were going to fix the ceiling." |
