Boy, lot's of threads on 12 strings popping up these days.

dwditty - "She sounds like a cathedral" - aaaaahhhhh, pure poetry.

As I mentioned in another thread, the undertaker will have to pry my fingers from my 12 to get me in the box (or, maybe the Mrs. is going to have to order a bigger box).

As just about everyone has mentioned, the 12 can be tempermental, especially to change strings or tune. However, mine stays in tune every bit as well as my 6 string or my nylon string classical (I tune down to D).

I adore all of my guitars for very different reasons - the softness of the classical, the mellow tones of my 6 string, but the 12, yessir, that's my baby.

Now if I could just play the darned thing as well as she deserves.
