If someone can clue me in, sure, although Ebony Grain photographs really badly.

You need to use a host, such as photobucket, and follow their easy directions to copy the link to your post.

Pictures from mgod. I'm just the host :)
This, if I didn't screw up should link to an album with the full size versions.

Thanks Frono. Competence is a handy thing sometimes.

If a miracle strikes before its gone I'll happily keep it. Although I really have too much stuff and occasionally want to dump most of it.

That's a really nice-looking example. I can only imagine how those chimey old humbuckers must sound with 12 strings.

Dave :D

If its mine its maple! And with Pyramid flatwounds, it really is amazing.

Val McCallum broke one string while we were making Creed Bratton's album, but it was a high one, so the flats are intact, but it could use a new set.

Only Hans would know for sure, but I believe that might be the Starfire XII that I used to own. How long have you had it mgod? And if you don't mind asking, where did you get it?

Either way, I bought the one I had from a gentleman in California. I traded it for a D-46 and a Bladerunner to Jim Pasch when he was still at Outlaw Guitars up in Greenbrook NJ.

I let it go after I got this one!

Frono or mgod - where did that Lennon photo come from? That's only the third photo I've seen with a Beatle and a Guild. The other two that come to mind are Paul in bed with an acoustic, and of course, when Dronge gave John the twelve string.

mgod passed it on to me. I'm just the host. In fact when I first saw it I recalled some pictures of mgod that he had posted from his youth and thought he was the subject, although Lennon was my second choice. In my defense a lot of folks look similar with long hair, glasses(?) and an awkward camera angle. :lol:
