Williams D-12 Series 400 *** SOLD ***

Post by Kevin Swan »

Double twelve string Williams "Willie" Series 400, eight floor pedals, four knee levers. Stays in tune forever, has never left my studio in the three years I've owned it. Comes with custom dust cover, case with rod sleeve. Emmons set up. Controls between neck are tone knob, neck selector 3-way (including BOTH necks if you just wanna show off), E9 pickup, C6 pickup.

Previous owner noted crack in the veneer at the end of the C6 neck since 2010, which hasn't changed during my tenure and doesn't affect anything except cosmetics. Shown in the last picture. I've moved on to a single twelve and would love this to be with someone who can enjoy that Willie magic.

I tried to price it right and include shipping. If you're tempted maybe don't wait? Hah!

That is a lot of steel for the price, shipping alone would prob be close to $200 at least!

Great buy on this Steel Guitar. I recently have learned more about Williams Steel Guitars. They are well made, play well and sound great! Wish that I could afford this Steel Guitar.

Sorry, meant to include copedents. Please note this Williams does NOT have the left knee vertical. The E9 11th string is G# and 12th is E The C6 11th is E and 12th is C

I've included a picture of the string gauges I've been using. (Previous owner had both necks as 10 string but I like the lower bass notes.)
