The original owner bought this in '88 - the paperwork was still in the case. I've been setting it up - it has a truss rod, tilting neck and of course adjustable bridge. I'm really loving it. I bought it used at Sam Ash for $259 with case. The thing new, in the 80's was $600+ so Ash way under priced this.



I hope you can see the photo.

Also it has the ability to change the humbuckers into single coil and throw them in and out of phase. I love this guitar. It mostly erased my jones for a Taylor Electric 12 string.

are you going to keep this in 12, or refret it eventually for other tunings?

Vaisvil

Probably 12

I bought a <$100 12 string acoustic that will be a 19 or 22 note per octave.

This has a neck I don't want to mess with since it has so many options.

Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later
When I'm gone

That looks awesome.  Didn't even know Peavey ever produced a 12 string.  I am anxious to hear it.

that is one of the few 12 strings that doesn't at first glance look like a 12-er, if is so sleek it looks like a 6-er.

Hi Blooby - look up my recent posts of Pictures of Match Stick Men (and Frank's version) as well as Clay Into Glass

though this guitar has amazing tone capabilities. I've only started to explore it.
