Default Rainsong JM3000 (jumbo 12-string) on Ebay

Just thought I'd toss this out in case anyone were interested (it's not mine - I just saw the listing). :-)

Thanks for the point-out Kray. If it were a WS-3000 instead of a jumbo I might be all over it. I'm heading smaller with guitar bodies these days.

Since RS no longer makes a twelve, I am seriously considering the double neck Emerald Chimaera, with a 6 and a 12 string neck.

Yes, I am seriously considering an Emerald X20-12 myself. I emailed them and got a quote for an Artisan with fan-frets and a few other mods. I currently have a WS3000 and I like it, but it is definitely showing some road wear. I'm in the process of packing up, selling the house, and moving to the lower 48 (time to go take care of my Dad), but I might just use some of the proceeds from the house for the Emerald 12-string.

Looks like someone made a deal off eBay with the seller. Great find KVK.

I love my WS3000, but having a JM3000 is on my bucket list.

It's back, and I bet I know why. Look at the pic showing the strings near the sound hole. Looks like a very high action, could be really problematic? No truss rod and with carbon it just shouldn't be this way? 12s with bad actions are doublely tuff!
