looks to me like Paul nailed it.
It's a 360 new style silhouette that's double bound.
If you simply replaced the typical rounded-over top edge with a double-bound square edge, that's what you would get. Interesting, though I also like the sharper horns - and the 330 shape better than the modern 360 shape.

Did you end up with this guitar John? Or is this another example of this odd WB 360 12 string? :D

BTW I recognize the strangely modified 620 12 from a Craiglist ad about three years back....

From April 1980 as I recall... :-)

if that is the same guitar then the lower scratch plate got some damage somewhere!

You know what it looks like, right?




A single-neck version of a 362/12.

Carry on.

Maybe Kenny had "single-neck 362/12" on his brain because of his adventures with the goofy 12-string neck that had to be re-set on the 362/12 that he just scored!

It was listed as such in the first post of this thread. I am not saying it is true or not, but repeating this statement and asking if anyone knew of the artist.
