Ouch..that "finish crack" (!) on the neck heel is the only thing keeping me from grabbing that one-otherwize that guitar looks like it is in great shape ! I'm always cautious with 12 strings and neck joints-theres a LOT of pull on that joint... |

Yeah Dave, I agree. That finish crack may only be a small symptom of the real problem. I saw that puppy about an hour after it was posted a few days back and almost jumped at it when I saw how cheap the BIN was. Good thing I read the description and looked at the pictures before I clicked...! js |

This does make you wonder, but since I have three artist doublenecks I can also tell you that you can have that kind of finish crack and it really is just in the finish. However, I would not risk it on the one on Ebay, I would have to see it in person first. Another suspect point is that is has 6 strings on it, perhaps there is a tension issue and therefore the owner only but 6 strings on it!! |

ok, i am glad you guys talked yourselves out of bidding. 12 string guitars are somewhat scarce, wine finished ones even more scarce. i couldnt resist at the price. my luthier and amp tech links to me on their websites :?) |
