You never can tell when 24 strings just aren't enough and don't have enough bass strings.

1998 U-12 Carter

Post by Rick Abbott »

I really love this guitar! It's a pre-BCT model, and sounds WAY better than the 2006 BCT guitar I had to sell to avoid TaxMan in 2008.

First pic is the 1998 and the second is the 2006, both are Newman setup.

No. He picked up that guitar from NASA astronauts after the visit to the moon. Samples of moon rocks weren't the only things they brought back with them.
