Sounds like a viable theory. It is unlikely from this case as there in no hinge near the treble horn. The guy I bought it supposedly bought it from the original owner case and all. But now that I look at it, this may not be the original case, vintage though it is.
I'll retract that statement and just call it an adjustment. My only other 12 string is a Dearmond S73-12 which has a massively wide neck as is very forgiving for a first foray into 12 strings. This is a classic Guild neck of 42mm at the nut so the string spacing is dense. This threw me at first but the more I play it, the more I realize it is basically what I'm used to.
I wonder if the neck is wider at all on the 12 compared to the 6... Anyway, from what I can tell from the picture, it looks like your string height is good -- low if anything. So, hopefully you'll warm to the neck as you're not going to be able to make it any more playable (unless I'm not seeing that setup correctly, that is).
Neck is 51mm at the 12th fret which is comprable to my other Guilds. Yeah the action is super low. I'm inclined to raise it a bit. Definitely warming up to it.
Thanks. Yeah it really was and the price was very reasonable as well. I'm not ashamed to admit I got up in the middle of the night just to gaze upon it.
