Location: Cicero, NY | Will this be a cutaway, Jeff? What other differences between this custom 12 and the Ute12?
I mean outside of the 6" wide neck of course? |

OK, I'll take it. Not to rub salt in an open sore, but ya'll really screwed up here. Got the 12'er from Jeff (shut up Cliff), and it is STUNNING. At TRIPLE the price it would be STUNNING.
I played this a couple of years ago and was mightily impressed back them. I've owned plenty of 1115 and 1118 guitars but this is the first one that REALLY has Adamas playability. I wish my Telecaster had as good action. And the sound is just out of this world. The A-Brace top makes all the difference. Screw that 12-string "fan" bracing and all that crap, THIS is the only way to go.
Bar NONE, the best wood topped 12-string I've ever played. The U681-12 still takes top honor for rumbling your testicles, this sunburst A-bracer stops someplace near the top of your scrotum. But we're splitting hairs here.
Jeff, I took advantage of a weak market and I really ripped you off badly. My apologies. This was just TOO good to pass up.

Location: SoCal | Dave, why do you think that when I had my 69 GC 12'er rebuilt, I had the top A braced? Temp has one as well. They are really outstanding, and not to rub salt into the wounds of those that have fan braced 12 string guitars, but there is really no comparison.
Also doesn't hurt that mine has Adirondack spruce ont he top...... |

Location: SoCal | Paul, that's why I have the two 1658's, a 1659, and a 6759 Custom Legend. The natural 1658 is a perfect match with the 30th Anniv CL's. |
