My New Williams S12 Keyless

Post by Brian Willey »

Wanted to share some pics of the brand new Williams I got recently. I am really loving it. Also including a couple of pics with the little mini-pad I made for it (this is the Williams single "wide body").

Wow, Brian, what a beauty! And great photos too.

Like Bill, I have one on order too (an S 12, keyless) and I have been wondering how the keyless apparatus is working out.

I took a chance ordering keyless because I, like most players, am used to tuning keys. But the close up of that end shows a pretty smooth looking mechanism. How do you like it so far?

That is a really beautiful guitar, Brian. What does Williams call that color, "Bordeaux?"

Great guitars… keyless is great.. to restring you will learn a bit that will make it easier to do. I replaced one string at a time from the bottom working to the top strings. Rather that take them all off at one time.

PS.. I just showed mine as a reference only..
