Guitar is in great mechanical condition and plays perfect. Cosmetically the usual bar dings etc...but still is quite pretty and the Red Lacquer is not faded Emmons setup 3 Pedals 4 knee levers 1/2 stop on RKL Original Case is totally functional but pretty beat and is Heavy as a MF LOL. Asking $1300 ...

Congrats Matthew, I am glad to here how happy you are with your new WILLIAMS 700. I just ordered an SD12 from Bill at Williams. The craftsmanship looks outstanding from the pictures I have seen, and all of the comments I have seen on his work has been quite positive. Like you said Bill is very patie...

Another U12 newbie here. I would love a copy.

Looking for some input on An SD12 Vs S12. I am ordering a new PSG and
thought I would like the Pad. I have been thinking about it and I am on the short side 5'6" (getting a 25" guitar). I am wondering if I might be to far from
the pedals? My only experience is with a S10.

Thanks everyone! Got it mostly figured out.

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks again to you all.

Looking for suggestions on fixing a problem. I am having issues with LKL and LKR on string 8. LKR will not always return or evan adjust to proper pitch. I can not back off the nylon nut enough for it to disengage. Now LKL not engaging on 8th string. It looks like the rod is twisting when I engage LK...

Trying to adjust LKR the tuning nut seems stripped and won't adjust. I think I over tightened it, the nylon disintegrated. Any advice out there before I bring it in.
Hate to be without it for weeks.
Thanks

What a great site! Ok I'm addicted to PSG :D I have been primarily a six string player for many years and have dabbled in PSG on and off since someone turned me on to Buddy Emmons Sings Bob Wills in the late 70's. Unusual taste for someone who grew up on Rock and Roll. Still one of my favorite recor...
