Yamaha FG-512ii 12-string, made in Taiwan around 1981, natural gloss. The twelve string really had it's day in 75-85, and this no-frills vintage beauty hails from that fine era. It's not always a given that a 12 will hold up over the decades, but this one still has a pretty flat top, a firmly attached bridge, a neck on the right angle, a functional truss rod... if that sounds like a low bar, you haven't dealt with enough vintage 12s. It sounds great: bright and shimmery, singing sustain, juicy lows... yep, that works just fine. Comes with a handy old case.
