You guys need to get a new monitor (or spectacles..) it's pretty clear in the photo that it's a spotlight effect.

Collin Whitley is an expert at knowing vintage production. I'm shocked he hasn't seen this thread yet or even commented!
After all, he is an OS fan.
I know right? All I have been thinking about since the beginning of this thread is what and when will Collin post!
My ears were burning, heard my name?
I don't think I can live up to that reputation.
Obviously vintage 12-strings are rare, as discussed here many times. Other than the three in '63, most (if not all) 12-string models in '64 were Rose Morris, with the exception of a handful of NS 360/12 models from that first year.
I'd even say early '65 12-string models are rare, when compared to later production figures in the following three years.
