awwwww what a dumb move that was...loved that guitar
was a Minstrel....made in canada
sounded great and played very nice...leaened on it really

and now it just hangs as wall art as it has sentimental value

One of the nicest 12 strings I've ever played was a Daijon acoustic that I had for something like 20 years. I sold it to a guy at a giveaway price because he was a brilliant player and I wanted to help him out....

Long story short; he ignored my instructions to tune it in D and keep a capo on the 2nd fret.

The belly of that sweet guitar is now pulled out so far that it looks pregnant, and the action is as high as an old Stella. :eek:

"awwwww what a dumb move that was...loved that guitar"

Oh, yeah, and I lost any respect for that stupid ****. :mad:
