Default WTB-12 string, found one!Thanks!

My previous deal fell through as the 12 string Martin sent to me was defective.
It was a "B" stock in "excellent" condition from Music 123.Except that the neck was warped and the case was a mismatch.

If anyone has a decent Martin or Taylor 12 string, with preferably a pick up I am interested.No Martin X series please, budget up to $1500.


NO other brands except Martin or Taylor. please.


i'll respond to ones that I think would be a good match, thanks for the understanding.

Please respond to Gabe - [email protected]

I have an SX 12 string dread that is a real piece of junk. It has electronics that I have never tested and I think 6 of the 12 bridge pins are missing.

Anyway, it's yours for free if you want it, though it doesn't have a case. You'd just have to pay shipping....which admittedly is probably not worth it and equal to or greater than the cost of a new one if you can find w/ free shipping.

Send a PM if that could work (I'm not offended if you pass)

Smile Lots to choose from...

Hey Gabe

I just entered Taylor 12 string in Reverb. 394 to choose from. Yikes

I have owned about a dozen, and one old guild, too. Still have my fave, a 94 LKSM. Awesome axe not for sale...

My suggestion would be a pre-NT (so pre 2000 or so) with Mahogany back and sides. So lighter weight. And the older ones have a bit slimmer necks, which helps with a 12!

I always ask a LOT of questions. If the seller does not respond in a friendly way just move on!

I am PMing my list of questions I always ask.

Best on your quest!

Paul

Due to my playing style those Guilds are just too large.I agree they have THE sound however.

Hi Gabe,

I have a Larrivee L-09-12 that I’m considering moving, just not playing it too much these days. The body and the neck profile aren’t quite as chunky as the Guilds and this guitar has a B-Band pickup that has served me very well. Guitar is in excellent condition. These list for $3,695.00 and I’m thinking about $1,800.00. Will be glad to send pictures if you’re interested.

Jeff

Honestly folks please respect my request for Martin or Taylors exclusively.

I am not interested in any other brands and will not reply to anyone who offers anything else.Not even a free Stradivarius

Thanks for your understanding
