Default Karma giveaway - two sets electric 12-strings

MUST BE CHARTER MEMBER

Bought these for a project that I finished early. Unopened packages.

I'll give one pack to the first two people who PM me their address - (I'm giving away a few things so make sure you list what you are after).

Electric 12-strings aren't very popular so if only one person wants them after a couple days, I'll send both to them.

two actually:

one was a total restoration of a 1960's Framus semi-hollow 12-string

the other was the repair of a brand new shipping damaged Taylor T5z-12

Cool. I have a couple electric 12s. A T5z-12 would be intriguing, but I've resisted so far.

The Framus sounds interesting too.

The problem with the T5z-12 which I loved was that it wasn'r really all that "useful" I mean, the magic of the T5z was that it had so many pickup combinations but they were all focused on overdrive and electric growl - which you don't want in a 12-string. Only 1 of the 5 pickup choices were useful so it was a beautiful playing guitar but it was sort of wasted. Now the 6-string variant I would jump at if given a chance.

The Framus was a wreck - I had high hopes for it - it was an old semi hollow but so poorly designed the top caved in under the neck and, being laminated, held that distorted shape permanently.

That's too bad.

I guess I'll stay with my Fender XII and my Gibson Les Paul 12. They're not going anywhere.
