Jerry Jones Neptune Model 12 String Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar (2004), made in Nashville, TN, serial # 046845, black lacquer with vinyl siding finish, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, black gig bag case.
Overall length is 39 in. (99.1 cm.), 13 in. (33 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 5/8 in. (4.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 25 in. (635 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5/8 in. (41 mm.).
This guitar is in lightly used condition, appearing played but not abused or altered, showing some light scuffing and a few more noticeable dings and scratches to the finish mostly on the back. This is an excellent-playing and sounding instrument, one of the more original creations of the now-closed, much-missed Jerry Jones Nashville workshop. It is basically a modernized version of the 1950s Danelectro U-3 re-imagined as a 12 string, with Strat-like 5-way switching giving a cool range of tones,. The solidly body-mounted adjustable bridge (instead of the elevated Danno style) has 6 strings running through the body. "Tweakin' Tradition" was the slogan for the Neptune models, and this is certainly a nice example of that philosophy in action. A fine example of Jones' work, an excellent jangle machine in a high grade gig bag Overall Excellent Condition.
