Thinning the herd, to torture a cliche. Question for Hans or any other expert out there. Anyone have any idea how many mahogany back/sides 12-strings were made? This is number 140, but I've been told the mahogany number series applied to six-strings and 12-strings and just ran consecutively as they were made.

Westerly-made 1993 jumbo, satin finish, except for the neck. Scratch through finish on lower bout, a few dings, but otherwise in great shape: neck straight, action very good, Bridge Doctor and Grover tuners installed. Thought I'd list it here before trying Boston craigslist. Questions, PM me!

Hello wileypickett,

The official model designation of that guitar is JF4-12NT. The serial info you mentioned is not correct.
Your guitar was number 140 and the total production for this model was a little less than 275 instruments.

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Thanks Hans! I've amended the description.

R.e.; the 275 made figure: Do you know if that means 275 mahogany 12-strings were made, or 275 mahogany six- and 12-strings COMBINED were made? (I was told the latter, I may even have heard it here.)

Thanks again!

Glenn//.

No, that was the 'incorrect serial number information' that I was referring to in my first answer.
It was a little less than 275 total for just the 12 string. They made more than 2000 of the JF-4 six-string model.

I used to have one of these in the late 1990's. It was a killer 12-string. Really nice sound. Tremendous bargain too.
