Eight days in, I just finished this awesome guitar. The big F212XL jumbo has a HUGE sound. Trebles are crazy. You guys were so right, I love it! I got it as a rescue, had a pretty good belly in the top, and the bridge was ramped up in back. Wasnt much saddle left. Rest of the guitar was in great shape, minus lots of swirls and light finish scratches. I buffed them all out without having to go deep in. No cracks. Neck angle was good, just had the bad belly. I did a top reset, got rid of the belly completely, bridge is level. I made a new nut out of some good aged bone, and a compensated saddle out of tusq. Good low action through the 12th fret. Now I just have to learn how to play it! I played about an hour, then got a killer cramp in my hand, I guess it takes time. Glad I chose this one for my first 12 string.
