Location: South of most, North of few | Naw, I've changed strings on a lot of slot head 12's. It really isn't a problem for me, I kind of like it actually. And, yes,...I am a sick individual, but without me, a lot of you other "sick" individuals wouldn't have some of the nice guitars you have, not to mention someone to pick on. :D :p
The earmuffs are strictly to protect my,(and others) appreciation for fine music, which I can't seem to create on a guitar. I'm sure anyone who has heard me play will agree with that statement. I'm a drummer. I only "dabble" in guitar playing. :cool: |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Actually, I just bought it to get the purple lined case. Jim, I hope you're just kiddin about that...its a shame to break up a near mint guitar from the original case thats kept it protected for all these years...If the case were needing replacement, well yeah, but this is a set...and a vintage one at that...
just my .02 cents...but this stuff is getting rarer and harder to find all the time... |

Location: South of most, North of few | Mike, you really need to meet me. Of course I'm kidding. I am really looking forward to seeing this one. I'm going to resist moving it on and keep it. 40 years old and in that condition (hopefully), I need to keep this one. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Whew, Jim ya had me somewhat worried...you're right, we do need to get together...This is a keeper if you can...I would have gone for it in a minute but I made a promise to SWMBO...besides, I have two old 12's including the shiny bowl w/purple lined case...show us some pic's when it gets there!
I got the '67 out this am...tuned it up: did a saddle adjustment and retuned...what a great sound...Ovation/Adamas 12's are the top shelf in 12 strings...no doubt! Yours is a beaut! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Today I stopped by a pawnshop that recently opened and saw a Pacemaker 1615 serial number 000972. It had quite a bow in the neck, but no finish cracks. $450 asking price. Anyone want it? |

If I didn't have one already, I'd jump all over that.
Any chance of a cash 'talk down' for one of our OFCers?  |
