"On FedEx vehicle for delivery..."
 

Ah, some of the sweetest words in the English language.

But what could it be?

Here's a hint:

Whoo-hoo a 12 string. Did ya get her yet?

Re: "On FedEx vehicle for delivery..."
 

Yeah, it arrived a couple hourse ago. It is the 12-string version of my infamous pink Retro-H, which I now need to sell, if only to make room physically for the 12-string version.

The 12-string is white, though, not pink. The seller has modded the guitar, having yanked the hot mini's that come stock and putting in a couple Brownsville alnico toasters. As luck would have it, by coincidence I own a Brownsville with the same toasters on it, so I know they're cool pickups and that the seller hasn't ruined the guitar by attempting to upgrade it. Seller is a longtime good guy over at Harmony-Central, DCinDC.

Here's the guitar. Pre-pickup swap:

Pics are seller's and a bit dark. Color is white metallic.

I went looking for some better pics than the seller's on the web, the white is a pearl white metallic, here's some pics I dug up that show the color a little better, though the metallic part isn't readily apparent:

That is a sweet looking guitar Brian! :love:

I really like the white color with the binding and f hole. I never saw pups like that before, but they look really nice in the axe. It looks really fun to play. What songs do you play 12-strings?

Re: "On FedEx vehicle for delivery..."
 

Thanks. It's sorta "faux" binding, truth be told. Not really inlaid like real binding, just painted on. But it looks cool anyhow, haha.

As far as particular songs for 12-string, I don't really have any. Pretty much any song with a lot of open/'cowboy" chords will sound good, especially with some finger-picking (or the equivalent done with a pick).

I did sit down and figure out the intro to the Byrds' version of "Mr. Tambourine Man," just so I would have something that has the 12-string electric chime to play. Obviously, this is no Ric, but I couldn't really justify spending that kinda dough on something with a somewhat limited application. This fits the bill nicely though.
