“I cut the neck.” Ouch. This was a classic American made 12-string from about 1965 or 1966. That’s really too bad.

I have a few solidbody Wurlitzer guitars in my collection, but I also have one of these later 60s imports if this model (71xx) that were likely built in Italy and then completed in Elkhart, IN. It’s got some interesting features… pickups are mellow but tuneful, and they’re mounted in a unique way. There’s a 3-way voicing switch in addition to the pickup selector (like half-arsed passive Varitone circuit). It’s got a bolt-on neck with construction similar to a set neck, and the more uncommon 23.5” scale length is kinder on my arthritic fingers. I heard Trogly say these can be worth as much as $900-1200 USD if they’re in collectible condition (few surviving examples are). The 12-string variant would command a little more, maybe a Benjamin (a 12-string W. Cougar I own was only worth $50 more a decade and a half ago). But honestly I’d rather take mine and do like in this video. Open it up, clean it out, make small repairs, strengthen it in places, sand it and prepare it for a refinish. I’m just doubtful I have the skill to do all this on my own. I don’t even know how hard it is to take the back off of one of these. I worry I’d destroy the binding! Seeing into this is a revelation. So glad this video exists.
