Sproggie Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've had a rat in the roof for the past few weeks and can't get rid of it. Not a black rat. We get vine rats which are smaller, veggie and have Micky Mouse ears. The cats ignore it, I've set traps and I've sat outside with a .22 . Seems like I'll have to wait for it to die of old age unless anyone's got any ideas. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Got one of them this morning!!!! It's missing the switch tips and one switch stem is taller than the other (more threads) , but I'm impressed that a 77 would have two ABR1 bridges Funny thing is it's a different type of white then my 80 LPC .... It's more like an olympic white I'll take some more images later when I can find my camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 So, what kind of condition is it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 So, what kind of condition is it in? Pretty damn good.. The strings are a little rusty... it has some chips here and there.... I don't like the frets (flat and low)... So I'll probaly get a fret job with taller frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 That's a beautiful instrument you got there Duane. The thing I like about the 1275s is that you can play harmonics on the 12-string and the pickups from the six-string will pick them up. It's a great sound if you can master the technique.

I've gotta contact my older brother. because this thing is worth way more than the $500 I gave him over a year ago... I'll probably give him an additional $1000 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Utterly gorgeous. I don't believe in "envy" or "covetousness" <grin> but... you really came out of that well. Personally I'd prefer the low frets but it's your money. The only problem with those things is that they're heavy, IMHO. But wow. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanx Milod she's a bit heavy, but is pretty easy to play especially once I removed the grime from the old strings . But I just can't get used to the low frets, so it 's gonna get new ones, (MT. Everest style frets) I was looking at the newer EDS's, and the 12-string headstock is friggin looong compared to the 70's EDS .... IMO the newer EDS 12-string headstock doesn't look right. BTW, I need to give her a name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windmills Optional Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Man, I wish I could find something like that in my mom's attic. But I'm pretty sure I didn't have a double neck in the '70s, and neither of my brothers play. So if I go up there it's probably going to be just raccoons, spiders or old holiday decorations.
