Guild F-212
I've been playing this very warm
and rich sounding Guild twelve-string since the
mid-1970s. I bought it used when it was nearly a decade
old and I wrote and recorded some of my most well known
songs on it; Waves, I Will Not Pass You By, All is
Clear, We Won't Ever Say Goodbye, Let Love In, Living
Things. You can really hear the vibrant warmth of it on
the finger picking songs in particular.
I haven't toured
with this guitar in years and have decided to sell it.
My hope is that someone who has really loved my music -
and some of the songs born on it - will want to own and
play it. It has an Acoustech pickup system in it and
sounds as good plugged in as it does acoustically.
It's a very
lived-in guitar. It's been injured and repaired a number
of times. Sometime in the early 90s I broke the
headstock off of it, or rather, a baggage handler did.
But I had it glued back on and it's been fine ever
since. You can still see the scar on the neck because I
didn't care about the cosmetics of it and didn't want to
take the time or pay money for the repairman to disguise
the repaired neck.
Though I don't
tour with it anymore, I do occasionally play it,
including this very afternoon, when I got it out and
played All is Clear on it. That song and a few others
would never have existed if it hadn't been for the
beautiful harmonics that ring out of it and caused me to
hum those particular melodies. By the way, it still has
taped to it's side a songlist from my shows back in
1983. You'll recognize several of the titles, but many
are there that I never recorded.
My price is
$2500.
Obviously, I'm pricing it for it's value as a
beautifully mellowed old guitar, but also for it's value
to someone who has particularly loved my music.
I could use the
money, but I'm open to partial barters, as well. Let me
know if you're interested.
Your friend in breezy Seattle,
~Michael
