NGD Eman DG/TL 330 Ric Style 12 String

[drmilktruck]

I've long loved THE BYRDS (Why is this happening? Every time I type the band's name, it's changed to all caps. It happened in another thread too. ) I've owned a few Rickenbacker 12 strings but haven't really gotten on with them. I've also lusted after a Dave Grohl Signature 330 in Pelham Blue. Last fall I contacted Englishman about combining the two, along with a dash of Trini Lopez & Gretsch. It was a difficult build but David sent me the guitar this week and it arrived safely today.

Dave Grohl/Trini Lopez/Barney Kessel body in Pelham Blue with HiLo Trons and Eman headstock with Rick style tuners. The inlays are abalone. It's semi-hollow. Nice fat D-shaped wide neck, Kind of like the Rick 660. Very comfortable player.

At least my 8th Eman Guitar. As always, excellent to work with, great work and a more than fair price.

(Pics will upload shortly; having issues with Photos.)

Congrats on that fine build by David. You should both be proud of that one. Bet it sounds great also. Enjoy and HNGD.

Oh

My

Congratulations to you and to E-man, he really out-did himself, though he has many other very impressive builds as well, this one speaks to me, and it says, "get yourself an E-man"

HOLY [radio-edit] that is [bleep] amazing!

Congrats on that beauty.
