Ever Seen Another?

Post by wints »

I can't recall ever seeing another 12/comb like this. Anyone?

Here is another unique one, AFAIK. This was at MARF III.

I don't know....but that particular guitar has a Rose Morris case though.

Over time I've seen more 366's for sale than 336's. Pretty rare, I would imagine. The one for sale is a very early production.

I saw one in JG at the vintage guitar show in Costa Mesa in `05.

I dig the comb. I remember playing those in the shop, back when ricks were plentiful, and slanted-fret models. If I knew then what I know now ... :(

Does the comb thingy work well?
Is is a cinch to switch back and forth, say in a live situation?
Could one conceivably play a rhythm in 12 mode, quickly yank the strings down, play a lead in 6 mode, then go back to 12 for the rest of the tune?

I believe string bending is not an option with the comb engaged.

Ah, of course, the octave set would still be there!
Thanks.
Still, a tempting guitar!

Yeah, not great for blues leads but versatile for rhythm. The comb works fine if you're not prone to hitting it with your pick.

I had the opportunity to play a 456/12 JG a couple of years ago, and I thought that the comb worked fine. I should have bought one while they were still reasonably priced!

there is 366/12 at cowtown guitars for about two or three years there. it even went down $0.5k condition unknown.. and since i see them badmouthing ebay on their website and then i see they are buying there very often i don't know what kind of integrity is that. there was 456/12 with lost comb at lark street and it was gone before i got to the phone. again voltage guitars had 336/12mg about year ago and now gone. i am watching this 336/12 - i am just not sure i want neck set candidate right now in my house. :?

Looks like the converters done by Gross to me...i.e. early. I seem to remember Mike Parks having a 366/12 with one like this some time ago. Of course...my memory about all of this stuff is foggy.

Silly low bidding. Am I missing something?
