For sale is my Paul Hathway C-1-12 12 string Cittern - this is how I used it, tuned G D G D G C.  It can also be used as an octave guitar, standard tuning but an octave higher.  Scale length is 360mm.  This is fitted with Gotoh machine heads and a Headway pickup, currently wired for phantom power as my other istruments are and played via a Headway pre-amp when gigging.  It had a battery box fitted when purchased and can be easily rewired for battery power with no need for a pre-amp if required (instructions for this on the Headway website).  There are two replaced (but matching) machine head buttons.  One string missing currently, strings are old and need replacing.  Current list price is £825 and the pickup and fitting extra if you wanted a brand new one.  Pickup alone will probably set you back £150 plus these days.

Padded case included.  Total weight 2.8kg

Part of a studio clearout following retirement and change in lineup of the bands I play in so it is getting very little use.
