Actually I figure the 12 string reserve is too high. I traded emails with the seller before. They want top dollar and maybe then some - and it hasn't had the electronic upgrade, so add another $1500! The 6 string, on the other hand, I'm keeping a close eye on. It looks like there's no power supply and I doubt its had the upgrade either. Think I'll go email the seller. I'm playing that one much closer to the vest. LOL

Bill, tgo

Bill, I personally thought that $4900 (see the Bunny Bass link) wasn't too high an asking price for a 12-string Series II. If I were a guitar player, or if there was a money tree growing in my backyard, I would be VERY tempted at that price. Amazing instrument...

It's the 12-string's 25th birthday today! Hip hip...

Wilfred:

The 12 string has been on consignment at Bunny Bass for a while. The seller apparently lowered the price since I last checked,IIRC. Even at $4900, add the upgrade and it's $6,400. I think it's a beautiful instrument and I'd grab it in a minute if I won the lottery, but on the open market I don't think it gets anything close to $4900. I guess we will watch and see.

Bill, tgo

I'd love to have 'em both, but not at those prices.

Bill- Congratulations!

I just won the auction for the Series 1 six string guitar. Yee Ha!!!! (Thanks Mike). I've been lusting for one of the old series guitars for about 30 years since I played in a short-lived band called Cripple Finger with a guy named Keith who had one. Before the beer bottles start pounding on the tables in the taverns of Belgium, I promise I'll post pics upon receipt.

Bill, tgo
