'DOUBLE 6' Model (1964-68)

12-String Guitar

Introduced around April 1964 (source?) the Double 6 was first mentioned in Beat Monthly July 1964.

Pictured in the September 1964 catalogue with Split Sound pickups, but did not enter production in this form.

The Double 6 model survived the Baldwin takeover, and stayed in the catalogue until guitar production ceased.
