Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | On the left is an original Glen Campbell 12 string ('81 1118-1) and on the right is the '06 Glen Campbell reissue 12 string (1618-1RI?}....
Notice that the reissue doesn't have a bolt-on bridge and is missing the first fret diamond!
Was this done to be able to tell the reissue from an original at a glance???
(the picture of the beautiful original was borrowed from Cc's gallery...) |

Location: SoCal | I have had three of the 1981 GC 12's, now just an acoustic. Checked out the reissue at NAMM, burst was identical. This might be a variation of the photo v. the actual guitars. |

Location: San Angelo, Texas | the reissue I have in stock has the diamond on the first fret and the darker burst, but not AS dark...but that could be age and the picture. No bolt through the bridge. |

| Original has a different brace pattern. The new has the scalloped X brace.. Big difference.. The old has the 2X4 super brace plate bracing which sounds good sometimes but OVERKILL.. The new ones sing.. |

Location: CT | Someone should buy me one so I could hear for myself it it kills! The case in that pic is actually the new BLACK one, just with some funky reflected lighting(look at the bottom left). I look at it twice every time I look at his auctions, but it matches my LX case, but is has the new style logo instead of the old one(my nephew's LX case is the same one - and black). |
