New Williams Uni-12

Post by Dave Bertoncini »

My New Williams...got it about a week ago. I recently moved and have not had much time to spend with it...but sure is nice. Had Bill put one of Dave's Telonics pickups in it and it is great too. I have not had time to spend on the pickup adjustments, can't wait to hear after I get it optimized. Also going to Joe Naylor's to pick up a new seat tomorrow

Great looking guitar, Dave. I bet it sounds as good as it looks, too. I am not familiar with the Telonics pickup, but have heard good things about them.

Thanks for sharing the photo with us.

They're a great guitar, aren't they? I sure like mine, which is just about the same color.

Now we can both do the 12 string shuffle in 3/4 time.
That is a real beauty.
