My new Williams....
This is a bit premature as I don't actually have it yet.
Bill Rudolph kindly sent me this photo (at my request) while they wait for a delivery of cases. No word yet on when I'll have it but I'm delighted with its appearance.
8+6 D13th/SD-12.

Wonderful that you got a picture. Here is my picture of my "AWAITING A CASE" Williams.

That's a looker Roger. I love Royal Blue as a colour for a pedal steel cabinet.

Nice Roger! I just got a wide body S12 a few months ago. You'll be astounded at the sound and clarity of the new changer, especially in the lower register. Great choice of Alumitone pickup too!

Your SD-12 Copedant?
Roger, that is a stunningly beautiful guitar. I have a Williams SD-10 and plan to upgrade to a Williams SD-12 at some point. Would you mind posting your codpedant for us?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks for everyone's nice comments.
The jury will remain 'out', however, until I sit down behind a 12-string after so long with my D-10.
The hurdles I face won't be anything to do with the workmanship in this guitar, of that I'm pretty sure.
I will spend time with the setup before making any changes; stuff that looks good on paper (to me) might be open to alteration.
I'll post my setup once I've lived with it a while.

That's gorgeous......I love the Williams keyless system....it is such a breeze to change strings because you do not have to wrap the string.....just pull it tight by hand in a straight line and tighten down the tuning nut.....on my 8 string Williams I have a .080 as my bottom string and the tuning nut holds it down with a deathlike grip.......
