Smile SOLD -- 12 string jumbo Charles Fox

This is a Napa-series jumbo 12 string from Charles Fox's Healdsburg, CA shop, in excellent to mint condition.

I purchased the CFox12 circa 2002 and it has been my primary 12-string instrument until recently. It has sides & backs of very nice East Indian rosewood and a top of AA-grade Sitka spruce. The neck is mahogany with an ebony fretboard, ebony bridge, and ebony overlay on the peghead. The lower bout is 17" and the depth at the tail block is 4&7/8", so it is a true jumbo. The 1&7/8" nut is bone and the saddle is walrus ivory. The guitar plays very, very easily. The neck is very straight, and the action (with light gauge Elixirs) is as follows:

6th string (bass string of the paired lowest strings) at the 1st fret is 1/32 inch
6th string at the 6th fret is 3/32 inch
6th string at the 12th fret is 5/32 inch
1st string (both of the paired highest strings) at the 1st fret is barely 2/32 inch
1st string at the 6th fret is 7/64 inch
1st string at the 12th fret is 5/32 inch

The CFox has been humidified religiously throughout its life with me. There are no fret buzzes anywhere on the neck, all the way down through CGCGCD. It has a John Pearse rosewood armrest, and the instrument is outfitted with a K&K Pure Western pickup. I have replaced the original chrome Schaller tuner keys with ebony keys -- the original keys are supplied with the instrument. I had a fossil walrus ivory saddle crafted for this instrument, which is installed -- the original bone saddle is supplied as well. The original TKL hardshell case with key is included. I have installed an Ameritage humidifier box in the case and it is equipped with two Ameritage clay canisters.

Charles' Healdsburg instruments were some of the best relatively-inexpensive guitars made in the U.S. during the 1990's. He now is making just a few instruments per year out of Portland OR and asking in excess of $12K for them. I recently got an Osthoff 12-string from a friend, otherwise I would be keeping the CFox. It's a most worthy & pleasurable instrument, with a wonderful sound, but I can't justify having three 12-strings!

The instrument will be detuned & cushioned inside its TKL case, packed in a guitar shipping box with foam pellets, and shipped to you, insured, via UPS ground. I estimate the cost to be ~$80 for the shipping with insurance. I will provide an exact shipping cost to you when I know the destination address. Any questions about the instrument are welcome. I'm open to reasonable offers. Thanks for your time & attention.

Here’s a vid with audio:

There are no issues with this instrument, it plays very easily for a 12, sounds marvelous, well balanced from top to bottom, and needs a good home now with a player.

Default Pics?

When looking at this page, instead of the pics, I'm seeing only the "3rd party hosting .....disabled" labeled blank non-pic courtesy of photobucket. Any solutions?
Thanks, Steve S

apparently the old way of having pics show up in a post no longer works. I've put new links to each of the pics in the original post above.

Photobucket apparently has stopped hosting pics for free, thus the vanishing of my pics. Imagetitan seems to work. Click on each thumbnail for a larger pic. Thanks.

I have played this guitar on more than one occasion and it is really very impressive. I don’t know how Charles Fox was able to get such killer action on a 12 string but he really pulls it off in spades on this one. It’s like playing an electric.
