How is it different from the other one (apart from the colour, obviously!)?

Or is the idea to have two the same?

Thanks, guys! Ian, they are identical except for color. I wanted to have two guitars with identical 9x9 copedants to keep one set up and accessible at home for practice and another with fresh strings ready to go to a gig.

That's what I wondered. The reason I ask is that this arrived this morning!

I already have an Excel keyless set up the same. Which will live in and which will travel I have yet to decide. Much as I admire the Japanese instrument I felt I should get an American one too!

I've never had a brand new steel guitar.

I'm considering a Williams S-12 Uni key less as my first and last.

I just need to find someone near to me to get my hands on one. I've played a lot of guitars but never had a chance to play a Williams.

I start dreaming every time I see a new one posted on the forum.

Nice! I have two Williams D12's for the same reason. One stays in my studio, the other goes to gigs and rehearsals.

I just did some maintenance work on someone's Williams -- my first chance to get up close with one -- and I am very impressed. Definitely a contender in my consideration of a new steel.

The guitars in this post are stunners.

I’ve got a Sho-bud that arguably sounds better and an Anapeg that plays better, but my Williams is solid, feels reliable, sounds and plays really good, and is the only guitar I take out these days. I’ve dragged it all around Australia in the boot of my car and it has been faultless
