One way to destroy a Gibson 12-string: leaving it unstrung for years.

it says unstrung for a year..whats the prob? what does leaving it unstrung do? no neck tension?

VOLVO)))

Im sure it's fine, honestly. Out there in the desert, you don't have to worry about warping like that. Drying out? Different story...

Only $400?  Isn't that, like, a great deal?  I don't know much about acoustics.

Ponder this for a moment: a strung 12-string has about 240 lbs. of tension on the neck.

Ponder this, that's why they have truss rods.

I work on guitars, AND wood, as hobbies and business. With some time for it to adjust, it will be fine.

Your condescension is duly noted, and blow it out your ass.

Don't even need truss rods, they are for adjustment, not support. All that tension, it can be taken by the cores of the strings, so doesn't need that much. Some dude had a cry about the risk of the aluminium necks I am making breaking under string tension, and I hadn't done enough research. Guess he didn't research as far as basses have necks made of wood.

Hahaha. So, when can I get my hands on one, Oli?

I wasn't even addressing you, so any condescension lies within your head, but thanks for replying.
