Does Guild offer a 12 fret guitar?
5K? That's a pile of guitar cash. I'd do my homework, if I had that kind of spending power, to make sure I got that optimum tone/playability magic. No offense meant to Guild's new lineup, but you could wrangle some serious vintage gem at that price. What fun it would be!

Aha! Thanks for straightening me out. Wonder what that 6 string 12 fret plays like. Love to hear and play one.
My first teacher bought me a gigantic Orpheum f-hole archtop back in '66. I was 14. Can't figure out why he bought a skinny kid this giant guitar with very high action, but he knew what he was doing, I guess. Got kicked out for my relentless propensity for playing by ear. He insisted I read. Here's a link to my 'Uncle Buddy'.

Lo, I've wasted many an opportunity.
