Nice! Now, wasn't that worth the wait?
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

It is a lovely guitar, I really love the mid blue finish - especially when the sunlight hits it brining out the sparkle.
The fretboard has a really pronounced grain running up it too - a big contrast to my 330-6 which has very little grain on the fretboard. I have to say - it was certainly worth the wait - I'm well chuffed.

Only one problem, going from 6 to 12 strings is really killing my fingers tonight! :lol:

Very nice score John.

I noticed that Peter Cook's Guitar World is minus one 330-12 MID, any link with your purchase? It was a nice price :D

You're bang on the money there. Well spotted - it was a super price, only £50 more than I paid for my fireglo 330-6.

Judging by John's taste in guitars, I would guess Waitrose in Dartford :wink:

That 330-12BBR is calling me like a siren to the rocks. :(

Peter Cooks were great to deal with. He gave the guitar a set up and good going over before sending it out, and even let me know the nut was a bit high out of the factory and he would adjust it for me. The guitar arrived perfect to play.

I'll ask the Mrs where she gets her shopping and get back to you.... :lol:
