Wtb: Used L-05-12 (or 60's Gibson/epiphone 12)

[frrobert]

Hello:

I am now Larrivee-less after trading my J-09-12  :(

Is anyone selling a used L-05-12?

I'm also interested of getting a hold of a nice 60's Gibson or Epiphone 12 string, dread body, with a pin bridge (not trapeze bridge)... I know, I know. But they are out there. I think the Gibson model would be the B-45-12 (a la Leo Kottke) and the Epiphone model was called the Bard.

Thanks,

Bob

I originally traded my J-09-12M for a rosewood dreadnaught...  a Mossman, which is a great guitar by the way.  I got a Martin D-12-20 to replace it, and started craving a Larrivee again, so I went on a 12 string search...

I went back to the store and started playing the J-09-12M and fell in love with it again!  I originally sold it because I thought Jumbo Maple guitars were just too loud, too bright etc.  Upon futher reflection, Jumbo Maple bodies really do make the best 12 strings...  I mean, I knew this, but sometimes you have to live with some other 12 strings before it becomes clear.  So I traded my D-12-20 for my old Larrivee J-09-12M, and we are living happily ever after....  Larrivee nation, can you ever forgive me?   :rolleyes: I still regret trading my L-05 in against a new CEO-5....

So, I'm not looking for a 12 string now...  I have a great one!  Thanks for the responses via email.

You know, this is a neat story. The grass is greener, eh?

Someone ought to start a thread re: buyers remorse. maybe I'll do it...should provide interesting reading.  :huh:
