: This site WORKS!!!!

I am now the proud owner of Shaftesbury 12 String Ricky type, excellent condition perhaps 25 years old, and sounds just as good as they did in the 70s when I always played one. I really missed this guitar even though I have a 12 string Ricky - there's something just O.K. about the way it plays and sounds. Japanese technology!! or it's just real cool. Thanks ANDY

Hi, I used to own a late 60's Shaftesbury telecaster bass copy and would love to buy it back again. The thing is I sold it over 25 years ago to a guy that I didn't know!
