As I've shared previously, I bought my F212 new in 1973 and played it as a 12-string for 10 years. I started playing it as a 6-string and have done so for the last 34 years. Luthiers rave about its sound and the neck; it's in great condition.
And...just like I did last year when I sold my same era Gibson SG Standard and got a Strat, it's time for me to get a proper 6-string.
I don't have to sell it, but once I get my new guitar I know I will not play this one anymore. I would love for this to find its way into the hands of someone who will cherish it like I have.
Questions:
1. Would it be good to get a written "review/assessment" of it from a respected luthier?
2. Do I need to get it restrung as a 12-string before selling it? Seems a waste to have it "set up" when the new owner would likely want their own setup but I do want someone to feel comfortable about buying it.
3. Best way and places to sell it?
4. Offer it here first?
Thanks all! Grateful for any input.
