That's a nice looking guitar.  How does it sound?  I played a D-05-12 that was a few years old and open.  It sounded very good for a 12 string, very balanced.  It didn't have a really big voice or much bass, but it was clear and bright...great for strumming.  I liked it a lot but didn't have the cash to buy it at the time.  Do the bone pins make a big difference on this one?  Congrats and enjoy it.

Justin, Jim @ Trinity hand made a bone saddle and nut  to raise the octave course to level with the standard course and set the action fairly low too, as well as the bone pins for this one, boy is it ever smooth. Great balanced tone all the way across. Here's a link to a quick lick I put down on my little point & shoot recorder. Plenty of power, but I had him put a K&K in too. Fantastic work!
