I had one of these 12 strings back in the day. I have small hands, so the Baseball Bat neck was a challenge! It eventually needed a neck reset and a refret that I never got to get done. I eventually passed it on to my great nephew but I don't think he still has it. Great guitar!
@@GeesGearFineQualityInstruments I named it "Ginny" after a 6-month old legally blind Virginia Smith whose Dad gave me the guitar. It is X braced, and has some wear and weathering (cracked finish). It can use a neck reset and some frets. Not sure how to repair the davits in the fretboard for a cowboy C. It sounds very good for the Sitka Spruce - Mahogany back and sides. It sounds close to the A Loprinzi LM-15, a "Jersey Martin D-18" from 1974. Label inside is still "Airline". It has been all over the country until I bought another guitar in 1994. Played lots of weddings, funerals, church services and more.
@@texhaines9957, fixing divots can be a bit of a chore. Usually, I make a paste from titebond wood glue mixed with the same species of wood as the fretboard (likely to be Brazilian Rosewood), press it into the divot with a stiff putty knife, smooth it off roughly and let it harden. Once hardened, I use a scraper as a micro-plane to scrape everything level with the surrounding fretboard. Then, you should wind up with a filled divot to match the surrounding fretboard color. Treat the whole fretboard with lemon oil and it will blend in. Neck resets have a lot to do with the geometry of the body of the guitar and can't really be addressed on their own (in other words, it often isn't just the neck). Good luck!
