This is the first guitar I ever bought. I lived near the New Hartford factory and purchased this at the Clavier Music store in Simsbury, probably in 1970, possibly '69. It hasn't been played much in the last 25 years, and I've switched to playing mostly bass, so I want it to have a good home where it will be played often.
There' are a few cracks behind the bridge that may just be finish checks. One is probably a top crack, but there's no buzzing or structural problems. Some small top dings, and the bowl could use a buffing. $1250 takes it and the original, somewhat funky softshell case. Serial# B-434

That one should be restored and put in a museum!! Definitely a piece of history there.

Love that label!!

I had a Glen Campbell 12 string too, #625 or so. I lost it when I got beat up and dumped out of a car while hitchhiking through Utah in the early '70s. The thing I remember most about that guitar, aside from sounding heavenly, was the flush mounted rosette.

Wow, very pretty, I love those slotheads!
Aussie, if you wanna make some room for it over there, feel free to send one of those ugly old Adamee or what ever they are named guitars to me, I guess I could help you make some room :)
You know in the interest of Inernational relations and all....

No more 12 strings here. I still can't play a 6 string.

I bought it when Clavier was in Simsbury, and when they moved to Avon I got a job there moving pianos. Now there's an interesting job. Two guys and a baby grand over a wet sloping leafy lawn, then up a tight spiral staircase. Whee...

OK, it's been up at $1250 long enough. I'm going to drop the price a bit. $1000 seems a pretty fair price for a White of this vintage.
