either you buy a 12 for investment and get one in perfect shape, or you buy one to enjoy its classic feel and performance.
I have both.
issue is, 12's have little to no records due to a fire and its the most faked pump out there...both on purpose or due to changed parts to keep them shooting.
sadly...my perfect ones are kept unfired and I cant enjoy them.
I actually enjoy my slightly worn ones most.
as I age, this may change. I may decide to enjoy some rare ones so I can say I did.
