I bought a Stella 12 string about forty years ago but lost it in a fire- Fantastic instrument but an action so high I needed a step ladder to play it.
Now own & play regularly an old Washburn with a cut away body which I did a bit of rebuilding on.
Tuned to E and used regulary when a banjo wont suffice. Stays in tune even when stored in its case for weeks, and has an action as low as my six string Lakewood.
A great guitar
