Just bought a 12-string Guild

I worded something poorly earlier. I said: "So much so that I didn't seek advice here, for fear that someone else would snatch it up."

I did NOT mean that I thought one of you fine folks would do an end-around and grab it. I wasn't saying that at all. What I meant was that I was concerned that if I took the time to seek opinions, have people respond, read the comments, etc. that someone else, somewhere else - not here in this group might see it and buy it. It had just been listed a couple of hours so I decided not to miss out on it.

But I just noticed how I phrased that and realized that it could have been taken in the wrong way. I knew you Guild-brethen wouldn't do that. This isn't some effin' Martin forum, amiright?

That instrument sold in 4 hours after it was listed. Good buy from what I can tell. Got to be able to pull the trigger.

If it sold in 4 hours, it was certainly the correct decision to buy before seeking opinions. With a guitar like that, at that sort of price, "You snooze, you lose!"

Well congrats! From the pictures the action looks good, so it looks it probably won't need much work or anything so it looks like you practically stole it! Nice score!

You purchased that D212 at about half what they have been selling for.

I've owned my D212 for decades (bought new), and it is a very good 12 string guitar.
