I got this a few months ago and had it set up with a new nut by a local luthier. The electronics are a little wonky, but great guitar otherwise. I do wish it were hum cancelling in the middle position.

The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Sorry for the Breedlove photobomb! This is my ~2000 MIK Danelectro 12 string (purple sparkle!) and 2016 Teo SS12 mandoguitar. I'm planning a 12 string build at some point too, but not sure what exactly.

It's a Framus. Late 60's? Strato?

What? Tremolo on a 12? Does it knock it out of tune?

@FIREBOT - is the Strat XII from the 80's? I've always been tempted by those, but I heard they had a really skinny nut width.

370-12 "McGuinn overrun" or some such thing. Recently revamped by Mark Arnquist (new nut, 5th knob is now a volume for the middle pickup, rick-o-sound jack now "vintage" capacitor. Most importantly: no more superglue freezing the truss rod nuts. :fp: Oh, the never ending joys of used guitars.)
