Howdy folks,

I don't know how I could be happier with my new guitar. I'm amazed that it stays in tune like it does, and I've played it a lot in the few days that I've had it. I think it's safe to say that I've found a new buddy that will provide pleasure for me the rest of the days that I'm abiding on the planet. :D

Here's a shot of me breaking it in:

That's a neat looking guitar. If it sounds anywhere near as good as it looks then you got a great guitar. Enjoy it!

Congrats on the new 12 string Amistad. :D

That is a very unique looking guitar.

Have lots of fun.

I personally like 12 strings. If my fingers were bigger I would have one too.

Beautiful guitar, Amistad! Hope you enjoy playing your 12 as much as I enjoy playing mine! Isn't the tone just great??!!

I have very small hands and fingers, duffmaster, but I still play a 12. The strings are like about .. that far away from each other. Give one a try and I'll bet you own one soon!! :D

I'll try one out. I just found a spend $15 and get strings or a cable free postcard from guitarcenter. They send you those just so you spend 40 bucks. And it works every time...

Hey there! Yessir, I did indeed buy this one on eBay. Actually, I learned an expensive lesson, as it was a "Dutch" auction and I didn't know that those type auctions do not have proxy bidding. I could have gotten it about $50 cheaper had I known that. But... that's water under the bridge now, and I am loving this thing!!

Sure go ahead and rub it in!!!!!! That WAS the auction I was bidding on! I never thought it would go as high as it did. My max bid was like $50.

Congrats on your new toy! But you won't be so lucky the NEXT time we meet on eBay!! :wink: :lol:

Very interesting guitar. I've never seen anything like it. What brand?
