I spotted this 12 string this morning. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33043&item=7327155781&rd= 1   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Friday, June 03, 2005 - 1:56 pm:    Ouch..that "finish crack" (!) on the neck heel is the only thing keeping me from grabbing that one-otherwize that guitar looks like it is in great shape ! I'm always cautious with 12 strings and neck joints-theres a LOT of pull on that joint...   Jeffsailor Username: Jeffsailor Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Friday, June 03, 2005 - 2:51 pm:    Yeah Dave, I agree. That finish crack may only be a small symptom of the real problem. I saw that puppy about an hour after it was posted a few days back and almost jumped at it when I saw how cheap the BIN was. Good thing I read the description and looked at the pictures before I clicked...! js   Steveg219 Username: Steveg219 Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 04, 2005 - 1:46 pm:    This does make you wonder, but since I have three artist doublenecks I can also tell you that you can have that kind of finish crack and it really is just in the finish. However, I would not risk it on the one on Ebay, I would have to see it in person first. Another suspect point is that is has 6 strings on it, perhaps there is a tension issue and therefore the owner only but 6 strings on it!!   Orval Username: Orval Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 7:58 pm:    ok, i am glad you guys talked yourselves out of bidding. 12 string guitars are somewhat scarce, wine finished ones even more scarce. i couldnt resist at the price. my luthier and amp tech links to me on their websites :?)   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 8:22 pm:    Orval...Good luck with that one, its a beaut and I think you stole it at that price..let us know what the deal is with the neck joint....dd
