No - I'm just an observer of the continuing discussion of 6-saddle vs. 12-saddle, and 12-string intonation in general. I've never owned a 12-string of any kind, but have, over my 30+ years of playing, played many acoustic 12-strings, which invariably have straight saddles. I've never been aware of intonation issues - maybe I just have cloth ears? It always seems to me that there are so many other variables going on that focusing on the bridge alone is misguided. One day a 330/12 or 360/12 will find its way into my collection, and I'll be able to have a credible voise in the discussion! | ||

I finally found one for sale on eBay: a 700 C/12. It's eBay item #7316075522. It's already over $2,500.00! Wow! What does one cost new from a dealer? If you can find one, of course. It's not exactly the one I want, but I'm considering joining the fray just the same. | ||

Mark, I've had my eye on it as well. Look for it to go a LOT higher before it closes. | ||

It is one of our forum members who is the high bidder on it at the moment. | ||

Oh, no! My condolences. Happened to me twice last Fall, until I got ESnipe. Graham: Try ESnipe next time! I've never lost an auction with it, and it costs only 1%. First bid is free. |
