Marvelicious Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Trying to thin the herd a little bit. This is a Greco Arthur Smith signature 12 string... 1960's I think. I just don't really need multiple electric 12 strings in my life and the Rickenbacker wins. The neck is pretty beefy... not super deep, but a wide U shape. It's a bit of a bat for my tastes. Individual on-off switches for each pickup. Some reading I did back when I bought it said the neck was Lemonwood and the back and sides were described as rosewood. I don't know if that's an actual rosewood variety, some cousin, or what... it make me think of Dennis Leary's bit about wood paneling. It's got its nicks and scratches and one pretty good gouge in the back of the neck. I need to get a better shot of that... it looked okay on the phone, but came out blurry as hell. The case is an SKB 335 case and it isn't quite a perfect fit, but it is snug and secure. Case has a hole on the bottom side. I'm thinking tree fiddy with the case, plus shipping costs. I'm NW of Portland if you'd like to meet somewhere in between to check it out. Questions? Thoughts? Speculation on my recreational chemical intake?
HamerCustomEr Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 I love the peephole so that you can tell if the guitar is still in the case without opening it!
DaveH Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 I wonder what a 12-er sounds like thru an Octave pedal...
Marvelicious Posted September 13, 2021 Author Posted September 13, 2021 Well, you can play songs that only your dog can hear.

Yeah, that happened before I took ownership, so I don't know exactly what happened, but you're actually looking at foam, not the guitar. I'm not personally a fan of plastic cases like this for that reason, but they're still miles better than a gig bag.

This reminds me of the film Escape from Alcatraz where the prisoners built dummies to make it look like they were sleeping in their beds during the hourly bed checks!
HamerCustomEr Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 This escape is "an open and shut case"!
