My New Williams S12 Keyless

[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").

beautiful. I have a Williams keyless on order.

That's a gorgeous guitar!!!......

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?"

[Larry Ball]

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..

Hi Tucker - That is their Bordeaux color.

OK, thanks for the tip, Larry.

Hi Chris - I really love the keyless. It stays in tune, I haven't had any string breaks so far, and I like the slightly smaller footprint. It is very easy and precise when tuning.

It’s a beauty alright, Brian. Welcome to the Willie club!

I have two Williams guitars.......an S8 8&5 and a D6 3&4.......both guitars have keyless tuners and I love them.......very quick & easy to change strings......you don't have to wrap the string end around the screw.....just set it in straight & tighten......on my S8, the bottom string is a low G .80 and is held in perfectly......

That’s a great looking guitar! Much more attractive than my little bitty black laminate keyless S10 400 Series guitar!
