Well I guess I owed you one, seeing as how I'm quite literally only seeing your reply a year after it was written.kosmonautmayhem wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 5:55 amMissed this as well but glad I'm seeing it now. Wow. Handsome is not even the word. Love it.
If anyone is curious, I'm still completely in love with this guitar. I don't see myself ever getting rid of it.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I just have to say again....
What a freaking beautiful guitar. For some reason the harp trapeze tailpiece really does it for me.
A vintage example like this is definitely high on my wish list.

Re: Off the beaten path NGD - 1966 Guild Starfire XII
Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. It has somehow exceeded my expectations and proved to be much more usable than any other electric 12-string I’ve ever owned. It sounds great and is very comfortable to play, meaning I don’t feel like I’m constantly fighting it and feeling that fatigue. I’ve always wanted a Ric 660/12, but fuck me they’re expensive! I know the wider string spacing and Tom Petty connection keeps their value high -- there are many examples like this in the music gear world -- but I just can't justify spending $3k+ on a 12-string.SignoftheDragon wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 2:57 pmI just have to say again....
