I visited a local auction house on Monday to evaluate some valuable from an estate I’m wrapping up. I noticed they had a musical instrument sale this Thursday so I purused the contents. Plenty of ‘meh’ or stuff that I already have covered in my modest arsenal. But I don’t own a 12 string so looked at the 4 they had and found a low action, straight necked, well built comfy Washburn which whilst not as toneful as the Taylor or Yamaha it did play a lot better and was without issues.
Went back and bid for it and got it for under £230. Had it home a day or two and enjoying the variety it brings, built in pickup and hard case included, all for the price of a booteek pedal.
Very pleased, not sure how much live work it’ll get but it’s given me options.

I keep meaning to go along to the auctions (it's *very* close to me), but - probably luckily - I keep forgetting when the music-gear auctions are.
