One of only six ever made
Very scarce piece, Sitka top, Tasmanian Blackwood back and side
Serial number 238, made in 2011
50mm nut but very nice wide flat neck - very playable for a 12 string
Amazing chequered purfling effect
Made with cross bracing rather than ladder bracing for extra strength regular scale length of 25.4" but will still tune down nicely (currently in C)
Ships with two nuts - one classic hi/low nut and one low/high nut (Rickenbacker style)
In amazing condition, barely played and virtually dingless (see pics)
Hiscox case
One very careful owner for a decade
Take a look at the pics, it’s a beauty
Recently played by famous Uk guitarist Michael Watts who said it was ‘the best 12 string he’d every played’
Would be around 7.5k GBP now, would also mean two to three year wait
Collectors piece
I’m asking £5,999
Here's Ralph himself on this particular guitar:"
The original Stella 12s I built were based on the larger Lead Belly shape, based on an original belonging to Stefan Grossman. Most of the later ones were in the slightly smaller and more elegant 'Barbeque Bob' design (falling somewhere inbetween Martin 12-fret 00 & 000 shapes). I built maybe 6 or 7 of these, but the all shared the authentic Stella ladder-bracing and long 26.5" scale of the Lead Belly model, whether tailpiece or 6-pin bridge versions. This guitar was a different proposition - the general look & styling of the BB Stella 12, but it has a more conventional X-brace, and regular scale of 25.4" (though will still tune a fair bit lower with heavier strings).
