I well remember Phil posting the review months ago because about a week later I came across one (a blue one!!) and it played and sounded great. Ha, I'm not going nuts, then. Honestly, if fender's QA people have a lick of sense they'll revamp the looks and keep the body as-is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not tried this Washburn but it looks promising: https://www.washburn.com/product/r314/ It does have a V neck but it might be worth trying if you can find one.

Members Idunno Posted January 30, 2020 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2020 Not a bad looking guitar, Howard, but I checked out the neck shape and it's a very pronounced V, almost sharp. Don't think I could psyche myself up enough to give it a go with that neck. Thanks for looking out for me. On a tangent, while I was looking around I stumbled across this guy so I thought I'd paste him up here for a little lesson and entertainment.

An old Stella parlour might be an option is you could find one? Here's a vid of the Recording King I bought: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Idunno Posted March 1, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 1, 2020 Still on the look-out for a 12 fret guitar but most of them are the extended upper bout "false" 12 fret types where the overall length is the same as a 14 fret guitar. I'm looking for the type where the bridge is displaced back to the center of the lower bout and the neck is correspondingly shorter. I saw one that dates back to the early 1900's (Lyle) and the seller is asking $3800.00 for it. Some people's kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
