12 strings cutaway...

[Scratch]

I know there were some "customs" at NAMM this year, with cocobolo headstocks. They were for dealers, if I recall correctly what Jane told us. I don't know if these were customized at the factory in Tacoma or at the repair/custom-shop in Nashville. I suspect they were done in Tacoma (I recall Jane told us the labels were all Tacoma).

I don't think there was any custom-order stuff (a la Taylor's built-to-order program) that mere mortals could participate in though. Nothing like a cutaway.

I think we're all interested in what New Hartford may choose to do with the Traditional 12s, based on their enormous 12-string experience. Here's hoping!...

The guitar I'm talking about is like Howie's:

This is clearly a 512 with a cutawat, not a 212...

Custom 212 as I recall from an earlier thread...

Cuthbert,

Yes, exactly. Scratch has it right. That's the Steve Howe guitar with a custom G-shield/3-piece-block-marker neck/fretboard. It's not a 17" jumbo body.

Did they just make this guitar with these specs?

Besides that, how is possible to get a Guild custom guitar?Guild's website is the only one that doesnt' speak about custom shop, personally I dreamed several times about a F65CE in sunburst with regular Valencia thickness...

P.S.I don't understand why the discontinued the F212 cutaway, they should have a 12 string cutaway in the catalogue, in the end I chose my Custom Legend because she was the only game in town. Not that I'm disappointed...at all.
