GUEST,JB	Any serious 12 strings players left? (126* d)	RE: Any serious 12 strings players left?	25 Feb 04
Brilliant guest Taliesn, You have awoken great interest in this fantastic and very underestimated instrument. Naturally there will always be a few cynics out there who know everything better and have already buried the 12-string, but we`ll survive without them. I play an old Guild 12-string F112 myself. I think it`from the 60`s and it doesn`t look in any way imposing. The action is incredibly low, but still does not buzz when I use a capo on the fifth fret. It also keeps the tuning very well and picking can be very effective using picks. Gordon Lightfoot has always been a great exponent of the 12-string. He plays a Gibson Sunburst, (just see that very sexy picture on his Sundown album. He constantly alternates between the 6-string and the 12-string and the effect is pure magic. Long live the 12-string! JB
