I 2nd Peter's emotion regarding the slotted head 12 fret (ala my Collings 000-2H). I play almost nothing else. How about a beautiful Santa Cruz Custom Model H 12 string, all koa, with 42 style inlays...she is a beauty and sounds like a cathedral organ? She is way too much guitar to keep on the wall.
