Gosh, that sounds familiar; I can’t remember when I last payed my twelve string either, even though I was desperate to have one donkeys years ago. I think after a while I got fed up with the incessant tuning issues, the difficulty of getting a clean capo fit, not having a decent carrying case for it, the top G string regularly breaking, plus the extra digging in you have to do for finger style playing. However, I see there are new models on the market now that claim to address such issues.
