never, ever buy a guitar unless you've tried it. Unless you know it's good, say it's a strat or something.

Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.

dont waste your money on one of those guitars. I have played Jay Turser guitars and they suck. If you want a decently built 12 string acoustic get a Yamaha, only like 200 bucks which is pretty cheap for a 12 string, the Yamaha 12 string I got cost over a thousand bucks when it was purchased roughly 15 years ago even though its hard to play cause the action is too high.

I put in a bid. They have 3 for sale. Plan on total cost to include a setup-including new strings and strobing, because you will have to take it to a local shop, unless you can do your own setup.

I have a luthiery shop and about 10-20 guitars at any one time, so as an off the hip, if you REALLY think you can handle set up yourself AND REALLY want a 12 go for it, but don't pay more than 140 total! (you can get exactly the same chinese made guitar from M.F. for 120- 160 delivered depending on sale prices.)

I would also look for the Takamine, Yamaha and Fender 12's. (Same 100-300 price range, but, they also have resale value!)
G'luck!
Just an idea... Not an actual serving suggestion.

I wouln't buy a jock strap from ebay; let alone a guitar. Go to a shop and play one that you want to be 100% sure.
