I lament the fact that I sold my NH F512, but simple fact was that I simply did not play her. And that fact was that there was just some little thing, I think string spacing at the bridge, that made the guitar difficult for me to play finger-style. Which was what my main thrust was at the time. So she sat. Immaculate build. Not custom, but ordered by Carl for me, and was first off that particular run. Boy, they got the neck profile right, almost 60's Fender C, very low profile and very suited to making a 12-string easy to play. My trouble was at the other end.
So, there is some gentleman in Maryland pickin' and grinnin' with my old F512, wondering how he fell into such a good deal off Reverb. Play on, you crazy diamond :laughing:
At this time, and I should almost seek shelter when I broadcast this, there are only two or three guitars that are in the "lust list," only one of which might be obtainable, one of the other two being in fact a NH build...one of the first F40 "specials." Really should try to make contact with its owner. When I get some more money...
