Big Ballad Singer Shopping for a new 12-string guitar (13) Shopping for a new 12-string guitar 24 May 13


My budget is about $1200, give or take a couple bucks. I've been told at a guitar forum I belong to that older USA Guilds have nice wide, strong necks.

I'm looking for a 12er that has and can maintain low action. I will be tuning down to C or D and using a capo. I did this with a mid-level Yamaha I had and it was great. Never should have sold that one.

The guitar won't need to have electronics; I can have a passive pickup installed and use my Baggs preamp which I love with a six-string I own.

Anyone have a good 12 for sale? Recommend one? I don't mind having one shipped but I'd also love to busk my way four or five hours or a day or whatever in one direction to go get one ;)

Thanks! Oh, and since all my money and family troubles I had a good long stretch ago, things are definitely on the upswing!
