You ain't goin' nowhere

I've wanted a 12 string forever, the Byrds fan that I am, and got this for a good price locally. Build quality is excellent (seriously, for 160 euros this is absolutely amazing), sounds sweeter than honey, and has a wide enough fretboard to easily play the 12 strings.
I can't stop playing "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better"

detailed pics in good light tomorrow.

I need a cowboy hat and a gun...
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

My first guitar was a yamaha FG420-12.

I can attest to the fact that there are curious moments when everything sounds better on a 12. Enjoy, Donkz!
