Post SOLD: 12 String Grand Purpleheart GK-2A MIDI $3700 obo
Hi there,

Sadly I am deciding to part ways with my stick as new chapters in my life call for my focus and resources.

I bought this in 2016, took lessons from Steve A online and played at a friend's wedding. Other than that it's been safely stored in my home studio. I haven't played it in years other than the other day to just test it to make sure everything works (which it does and is in excellent condition). I have a bunch of accessories included on the listing as well:

Gig bag
Stand
Instrument Strap
Custom wood lap bar (made by yours truly, I followed this guy's tutorial on Youtube to make it)
Stereo Y 1/4 instrument cable (from Stick.com)
Truss Adjustment Wrench (from Stick.com)

Ebay link below
Thanks!

Does anyone know the approximate year of manufacture if the serial number is 1462?

Thanks

It's definately one of the earlier ones, as it still has the slotted screws at the nut position, but not one of the originals - which also had slotted screws at the bridge position, which I believe came 5 bass 7 melody.... oh what I would do for one of those babies !!

Pretty sure the one for sale here is 34 inch scale - it's a great great instrument, but I am biased as I love the older Sticks a lot more than the newer ones.

May this instrument find a good home where it will provide it's new owner with much inspiration and joy for many years to come.

I bought my Grand #1395 new in 1998. Same type of wood, same specs, except mine did not have the hex pickup.

A fine instrument. I own a few similar models. A bit high on the price but supply and demand does come into play. MIDI pickups are no longer available so a rare find.

Yeah, nice stick. I've been waiting on a 12-string RB for almost 2 years now, and this stick is a tempting shortcut, but I just don't care about the MIDI pickups.

The listing says it was purchased in 2016, but doesn't specifically say it was purchased new.

Thanks. I did buy it from a private party at that time. It has been well kept though and is excellent condition.

Outstanding !!

Congrats on making that sale.

For what you offered the price was pretty reasonable, all things considered...

Believe me, I looked at it for quite some time, musing about converting it to 5 bass 7 melody [which the midi p/u would really have liked] but the timing was bad for me to swing such a deal, but if I could have I would have.


I hope the new owner gets much joy and inspiration from this fine instrument.
