❌SOLD❌ Anthony Karol Orchestra Model OM Rosewood, 2016

On January 21, 2019 /

Built at his workshop in Mississauga, Ontario, the Anthony Karol Orchestra Model is a fine example of skill and meticulous craft work. The Orchestra Model design is based closely on the classic 000 body size, but normally has a longer scale length. Karol makes the body slightly wider and rounds the shoulders for slightly increased bass output, with the goal of a more even response across the spectrum.

Sold! Harrison GB Custom Blister Maple Top Thinline Archtop, 2019

On January 17, 2019 /

This Harrison GB Custom example features a carved Maple, F-hole top with ‘blister’ figuring on a Mahogany body, routed out to provide a fully hollow body.

Gotoh 510 21:1 ratio tuners with gold tinting provide smooth, accurate tuning. The hand built tailpiece is solid and designed to allow fast string changes.

TESTIMONIALS

It is here now and is beautiful and plays like a dream!

Mike, I just wanted to let you know that the Thunderbird arrived safely just now. It got stuck in customs in Chicago for a couple of days (the post office told me that it always happens that way with everything that comes from abroad) but eventually got on its way again. Anyway, it is here now and is beautiful and plays like a dream. It sounds great through my amp, and not surprisingly, sounds just like my 1976 Thunderbird. I was delighted at how light it is too.

Thanks again!

Can’t think of one thing I would change.

The banjo stork dropped off the baby safe and sound. A couple thousand miles of travel, pulled it out of the case and I barely needed to tune it. Unbelievable instrument. Can pick high and soft, or low and push the pedal to the metal…solid and in tune. Returns whatever you throw at it with cristal clear tonality.
Set up, strap, string gage, bridge height, neck profile….all perfect. Can’t think of one thing I would change.
Thanks for all your work on this Grant. I couldn’t be happier.

Completely Satisfied…As Always

Grant…received my Alhambra
CS-3 CW crossover guitar yesterday safe and sound.
I am more than pleased with it. Your recommendation was spot on.
I’m enjoying playing it, in fact, can’t seem to put it down! Your professional setup is perfect.
As you described, it is beautifully constructed and the sound is very much to my liking.
I have purchased other guitars over the years from The 12th Fret but this purchase was all completed without even having to drop by in person. Typically, I would want to play a guitar prior to purchase, but I trusted your judgement and experience to guide me and I am…
Completely Satisfied…As Always.
Thanks again Grant.

Best Regards…Mark

Didn’t Intend On Buying Anything.

Just wanted to thank you Brian for facilitating the purchase of the 1970 Martin D18. I didn’t intend on buying anything that day and appreciate your help on getting it done. Thanks again! Pass along my thanks to the Luthier who took a look at the guitar and say hi to the rest of the crew down there, a friendly bunch they are.
