If you're interested in the 12 fretters, you could also look at a 00028vs. 2 years ago you could get one for around 2200-2400 USD, but used prices are so messed up right now.

not sure if you're kidding, but there is a signature inlaid at the last fret in the pic you posted ...

I genuinely thought you were being sarcastic with your "luckily there are no signatures anywhere that i can see..." statement. Didn't realize you'd missed it :D

Often 12 fretters will have slotted headstocks, which I prefer aesthetically.

I have a 1977 lawsuit Takamine F-312 that I really like. I’m a big fan on the plain look.

I have in my head I want, at some point, a nice old vintage 12-fret to replace my old '74 Yamaha full-size. I know very little about acoustics though so the search has always been me kind of aimlessly wandering around in the dark. Model numbers and 0-000 designations don't mean a lot to me. I went and played a bunch of new Martin's recently and the 00 sizes were good, but the necks were horrible skinny things. Definitely prefer a slotted headstock too.

I guess I'm just waiting for something to just 'appear'. It's probably the best way really...let the guitar find me.
