Wells Mediterranean "Angel" 12 String

Bearclaw Sitka Spruce Top
Brazilian Rosewood Back and Sides
New/Used Guitars, Gear and Live Performance Venue

I first met Sylvan Wells about 2
and a half years ago and
visited his shop for the first
time.

He showed me some of the
guitars he had built over the
years and had kept rather than
sold because they were a little
special.

I am a sucker for 12 string
guitars. I believe firmly that a
12 string can help make up for
the lack of guitar playing talent
that I have.

When Sylvan pulled this one
out of his "stash",  my jaw
dropped.

Sylvan explained that the
headstock inlay pattern was
too big for any of his 6 string
guitars, so he decided to build
a 12 string.  He enlisted the
aid of Bozo Padunavac, a
world class luthier and famous
for his 12 string guitars for the
internal bracing design.

One thing led to another and I
am now the proud owner of
this guitar and I thought I'd
share some pictures of it.
