PENDING: '95 Eclipse 12'er

[tomteriffic]

As they say, health forces sale.

This is a '95 Eclipse 12 in very good shape.  I waited a long time to get my mitts on one and it was well used but never abused, came with me to every show for years but was only used on a few songs every night.

It was originally owned by the always tasteful Stevie mf'in Clay of Grumpy Old Men and I bought it through the mighty Greg Platzer.  Evidently, Steve and I shared the opinion that the big chrome pickup surrounds on Eclipses were a tad too blingy.  Greg fixed that with some classy, custom tortoiseshell rings and TRC.  I fixed the balance issue commonly found on 12'ers with pearloid tuner buttons (originals in case) which also classed it up a little and those couple of ounces really make a difference.

No breaks, major repairs or stories.  There is one eraser-sized dimple (I tried to photograph it and couldn't) above the pickups on the front.  When I bought it, I commented to Greg that I now had to search for coolerbetterfaster pickups.  He recommended I live with the stock ones for a while.  Good call.  All the classic 12'er tones are in there. No regrets.

$1,350 or near offer plus actual shipping.  Shipping estimate provided once we have a deal.  PPFF preferred, my bank isn't set up for Venmo, etc. CONUS only, packed to withstand a regional thermonuclear conflict 🤣.  I'd GREATLY prefer a meet 'n' greet to hand it off if you're within a day trip driving distance of Dayton, OH

This is a nice one, I hate to see it go.

If I didn't already have a red one, this one would be mine!  GLWTS

Smokin’ deal, and this plays better than ANY Rickenbacker 12 string!
