Fessenden, double-neck, 12 string:

Bill Lawrence 712 pickups
9 Pedals, 9 Knee Levers
Black!

I am selling this for $2,500 (reduced from $2,700) plus shipping. I would prefer to deliver rather than ship. I can accept PayPal with applicable fees added. I will also entertain reasonable offers. No trades please.

That's a killer deal for a 12+12 with 9+9. Yowza!

Is that a Carnival glass collection in the cabinet? Pretty!

John,

Good eye! It's Fenton to be specific. I could probably sell that stuff for more than the steel, but I wouldn't want that Fessy to end up in some "mysterious accident"......at the hands of my wife

Ha!

I collect a bit of Fenton, too, lovely stuff.

I'll ask b0b if we can start a Fenton section on the Forum.

So back on topic, sorry I'm not in the market for an extra guitar, this one is right up my alley, Cameron! Just needs another pedal and KL to match my Mullen!

Cameron Parsons · Post by **Cameron Parsons** » 31 Jul 2009 1:27 pm

I really like the double 12 concept. I also like having at least 9x9 on a D-10 or 12. It really opens up the musical possibilities for me.

Hey John: I would really like to see your D-12 copedent. If you could easily email it to me, would you please do so? I appreciate it.

John McClung · Post by **John McClung** » 3 Aug 2009 6:58 pm

Cameron, I'll email you a PDF of my extended E9 tuning, it has all the best spices.

I don't play a lot of C6.

My 11 string C6 has no string 1 (used to be an F, though), then a D for string 2, then a G for string 3, then the usual E-C-A-G-E-C-A-F-C. Standard 5 pedals.

LKL is the inverse of pedal 6.
LKV is G's > G# for an augmented.
LKR is A's to A#.
RKL is top and middle C's to C#.
RKR is top C > B.

Thanks, John. I appreciate that!

Wow, this guitar is making the rounds. I think this is the third time it's been listed for sale this year. I guess I should have asked for more when I sold it here the first time!

I replaced the pickups in this guitar with BL 712's. It had Wallace TrueTones in it, and the 712's really brought it to life. I also changed the copedent to something very similar to Paul Franklin's. I replaced the tuning nuts with all George L's that will work with a standard 3/16 tuning wrench. This guitar plays great and sounds even better. It made me realize that I need to order a D-12 made specifically for me.

As Mr. Smith said, I am the third owner. I bought it a few months ago and decided I need to sell it to put the money toward a custom-built D-12. I really like the concept and will make the one I have built my primary guitar once it is done. I bought the guitar for $2450 from the second owner as shown here: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopi ... highlight=. I put some more money into it for the pickups and tuning nuts which is reflected in the price that I set.

IT IS STILL A GREAT DEAL.

I'm curious what it weighs in the case.

Cameron Parsons · Post by **Cameron Parsons** » 31 Aug 2009 4:09 pm

I don't have access to a scale that would serve that purpose. Of course it weighs more than a standard D-10, but I think it is negligible.

Cameron Parsons · Post by **Cameron Parsons** » 31 Aug 2009 4:11 pm

PRICE REDUCED! $2,500 plus shipping! I will also consider reasonable offers. No trades please.

Hey Cameron:
Just curious... was this guitar ever owned by Buddy Cage ?? Thanks.

Cameron Parsons · Post by **Cameron Parsons** » 2 Sep 2009 10:45 am

I don't think it was. I think it was built for Jim Smith whom posted above.

John McClung · Post by **John McClung** » 2 Sep 2009 11:54 am

Bump for a great D-12 and a Fenton glass collector...we got a lot in common, Cameron!

That is correct, I was the original owner. I even worked on some of the parts while visiting Jerry.

I myself would love to have this guitar but can only have one at a time I guess. this would be great for those Vern Gosdin tunes with the extended E9th. wow think what you could do with the 2 extra strings on the C6th side of things. The action of these guitars are perfect, and also if you need to do a change the finger design makes it so easy to change anything you like that even a cave man can do it.

Cameron Parsons · Post by **Cameron Parsons** » 25 Sep 2009 10:17 am

Surely there's someone out there that wants to embark on this adventure.
