Hi.

I contacted you a couple of years ago regarding selling a 12 string guitar =
with case.

I didn't get around to doing anything about it at the time. You suggested I=
 try reverb.com however, I'm not sure they're still trading (I can't get on=
to the website).

Do you have any other suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

Ashley.
