A couple questions.
Are the neck specs the same on a GB10 and a GB12?

Ive only been able to find definitive specs on a GB10.
Either way , can anyone give me the neck specs on a GB12?
Scale length, nut width, fret size.
( Scale length: 24 3/4" Nut Width: 1 11/16", medium jumbo)
is that correct?

Thanks in advance.

OME,

I owned a GB100 at one time (similar spec to the GB12).  It has the same neck spec's as the GB10 - 1-11/16 nut width x 24-3/4" scale w/medium jumbo frets.  Nice neck and very nice guitar IMO.

I have owned both a GB12 and a GB10.

And sold both.

The neck stats are the same...GB12 body is same size too but deeper...better acoustic tone.

Both are nice guitars.

GB12 is somewhat (very) gaudy, depending on who you talk too.

GB12 also has very detailed inlays...not good.  Around those inlays is TONS of black epoxy filler...very tacky.   It is not noticeable unless you angle the guitar in bright lighting.   Then all that expoxy just hits you hard.   The amount is akin to what you would see in a really cheap guitar.   I was surprised to see that when I bought mine in 1998.   Back then, most companies had already mastered CNC machining and laser cutting...so that the amount of filler around the inlays should be minimal at best.

Tone wise, I liked the GB12 better than the GB10.

The GB12 is a very nice guitar, but a little too over the top for me.

Click on this link.  Scroll down to the small dialogue box for the GB neck profiles, etc.:
