I received this guitar as a gift in 2005. Based on the little information I could gather, it was a prototype made by Todd Krause, who builds guitars for many top players, including Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. This guitar is labeled as a prototype, was apparently made for Art Alexakis of the band Everclear, and somehow ended up at the Guitar Center in Fountain Valley. This instrument is definitely one-of-a-kind, and to my knowledge it's the only electric baritone 12-string out there with exception to the Veillette Swift.

Unfortunately I don't have any specs on the guitar, but just from looking the guitar has the standard bolt on neck, with one volume and one tone knob, and a 3-way switch controlling the neck pickup and Dimarzio humbucker bridge pickup. The paint job is unique, all black and sporting a beige stripe on the bottom.

I begrudgingly plan on selling this guitar, as I need the money. I included a few pictures so you can see the certificate of authenticity signed by Todd himself, the original Guitar Center tag, and the totally awesome racing stripe that wraps around the back. Basically I wanted to make a post so others could check out this guitar, and also because I'm not sure how I'm going to go about selling it yet. Any advice or comments are appreciated, if all else fails you'll probably see it on Ebay in the near future. Thanks
