Niiiiice. I'd get that and string it up as a six-string.

Is this what prompted the quick sale of the 365?

Due to tactless lack on emoticon, I cannot tell if this is some sort of sick sarcasm.

tact? sick sarcasm? i have to have tact when stating my opinion about a guitar owned by no one i know in real life or on this site? the guitar is fucking ugly. i think fact fits better.

it's a fucking hideous guitar. the tort, the switch, the bridge, the headstock... none of it works for me. nothing sick or sarcastic about my opinion (which i could give two shits if i'm in the minority).

the price, however, is great in terms of collectability.

Haha i couldve sworn you were joking... The body shape at least? I can understand not like the headstock. Literally my dream guitar (if I had use for a 12 string)..

same here. one day, when i have enough money to spend a couple of grand on a 12 string i'll rarely use, i'll buy one.

A lot of the songs I've written are ambi-12-strous.

I can probably justify it when the moment arrives.

What's not to like. I am not a big 12-string player, but I would love to build or own one. Great bridge design.

Raise your price, then you don't have to do as many things.
