New Mackenzie & Marr 12-string

[personatech]

I'll go ahead and say it - it looks fab: Mackenzie & Marr Algonquin 12-string! Sitka top, Bolivian Rosewood back and sides.

It looks beautiful and reasonably priced too, $1500 Canadian dollars, around
£880.

I was wondering when they'd get around to it - love to see a 6-string version to match...

[AcousticDreams]

This is a beautiful shape. Are there any video's or sound samples?

The tuners seem misaligned or I'm having an optical illusion.


The headstock needs a redesign to prevent string/post contact.


Other than that it looks great.

[Brucebubs]

It does look great - the only other small thing I prefer is placing the primary string at the front - nearest to the saddle and the octaves at the rear - like Guild - other than that it looks superb, love that body shape.

Is there a non-cut version in the pipeline - some folks (myself included) prefer the more traditional look/feel...

There was one a few years back, the Ian Tyson model (the current Inspiration has the Florentine cutaway). In fact, here's a photo from a current Reverb listing:

Good eyes. Ah, the joys of prototype/pre-production!
