Hagstrom H-33E 12 String 1960s - Sunburst

Here we have a 1960s Hagstrom H-33E 12 string guitar, much like one played by David Bowie.

The guitar is cool looking and it plays quite well.  It has a surprisingly big voice too - it sounds fantastic!

The cool-looking pickup is neatly mounted at the end of the fretboard.  Being a magnetic pickup, used on bronze wound strings, it isn't the best sounding acoustic pickup by any stretch, but it is useable for sure.  

The guitar is crack and repair free.  The pots were changed as some point, and one of the original knobs broke so they're stored in the case with some old replacements added in their place.  

The original hang tag is included, along with a modern hardshell case.
