Thread Name: 12 String Tuning
Subject: RE: 12 String Tuning
Careful with the Daion. I have a Daion Mugen THE78/12 (and a 6 too) and when I got it the previous owner had had 13s (!) on it in concert from new!! Front well bowed - needed a bridge doctor and a fair bit of neck tweaking. The THE78 6s were instructed, new, not to have anything tougher than 12/53s (in concert) and I would not use anything heavier than 10/47s on a THE 78/12 in concert. I nearly wrecked my THE 78/6 playing it with 13/58s in concert - great noise - but one day I looked at the table with the light at the right angle and panicked! It too now has a Bridge Doctor in it.
