More Graf sightings:

Twelfth Fret again, 1999, slotted peghead but 14 fret neck. A reasonable $3000--the description says there's some wear on the top and frets, but it doesn't show in the pics.

I checked out the Kingston Guitar Store in downtown Kingston, Ontario--and I highly recommend seeking this little shop out. It is chock full of expertly restored guitars and vintage amps. The Graf in there is a very early one--a 1973 12-string, $2200. (Possibly his first ever 12-string). Gord Mylks, the store owner and luthier, apprenticed with Rufus Stewart, the master of setup, regulation and repair.

Other nifty boxes in the same store: a 1992 Martin D-18V, smooth as silk and only $1800 Cdn; a truly funky 1957 Gibson LG-2, a sunburst, very playable, with the brashest sound I've ever heard coming out of a wooden box.
