It is important to note that the inside of the album 'For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night' also shows Pye with the instrument and that he used it for recording some of the tracks on the album. It has been said that when Pye asked Terry King (Caravan's Manager) for a Fender Strat, he replied "Why do you need another Fender guitar? You already have one.". Pye explained that he wanted a 6-string guitar too, and Terry advised him to remove six strings from his original Fender XII, which he did.

great guitar

got it a year or 2 ago. I have been using it recently for live versions of Polly and our song "Into the Land of Reptilian Prostitutes". its is a great, but expensive, 12 string, that is worth the investment if you have the money.
