That 12-string headstock is a work of genius, and a work of art.

Yes, it is. Having the side and bottom tuners really make it easier to figure out which string you are tuning than a straight headstock.

The maple one is a bit easier to change strings with the open slots. Still a pain in the azz though.

Thanks, Glenn. I really like the darker fireglo on yours' too.

My guilty secret? I owned my 330/12 for about 3 years, and never changed the strings - I couldn’t quite seem to get around to it

The fresh pack of Curt Mangan strings that Pick Of The Ricks included with it were still in the case when I sold it.

So all these fancy 12-strings get the oohs and aahs.

I'm determined to get some love for my not-so-humble 650D

I don't know about love, but do lust and covetousness count?

That's a great looking guitar, too, David! Very organic looking! Love the earthtone colors!

My shameless plea worked - thank you, all

Even after nearly 21 years of ownership, this guitar still inspires me like no other before or since, and I can't conceive of any circumstances in which I'd part with it.
