A long, long time ago, probably more than 30 years ago, I bought a Haruo 12-String Guitar. I loved that thing. However, I can no longer manipulate anything more complicated than a can opener. Thanks to arthritis and some nerve damage I have no chance of ever playing it again.
Which leaves me in something of a dilemma. From what I've seen here on Guam there is little respect for a fine instrument like this. Plus we used to have a thread here on Mudcat about Haruo guitars and the consensus was that once a person got his or her hands on a Haruo they would not let it go.
I could take it to the one music store here on Guam and sell it on commission or I can offer it here to someone who will appreciate it for what it is. There are two problems. 1. I have no idea what kind of price to put on it. 2. How on earth do I mail it to whichever part of the world it might have to go to. It does have a hard shell case but do I trust that to protect my (your?) Haruo?
Looking forward to some advice. Maybe someone can resurrect that old thread or star a new set of posts here.
