Who likes 'em ol' 12 string axes nah? So temme...

[Loons The Great]

Stella? Washburn? Yez Yeah...O' Yeah...Yez Yeah Yes...

[Nitro Express]

I always wanted a 12 string but never bought one.

[zeronumber]

Meh, I love twelve strings, but mostly for aucustic.

Though, A double neck guitar with 12 and 6, has always been a desire of mine for some reason.

[Redballjets88]

$750 go buy one

[kentuckyklira]

Vester doubleneck, 6 string superstrat style + 12 string.

12 string acoustic.

[DaLeeRo]

My father got one acoustic.....

I once tried it and...... oh shit there comes good sound

They are pretty expensive.... I think that cheapests are somethin' like 500$.....

Money talks and Bullshit walks....

:D

I've played shitty ones that were less than $400, but even those sounded good. I find that a shitty 12-string is harder to detect by sound alone than a shitty 6-string is.

[Panamark]

I love em !

Anyone played a 12 string Maton ?
Reason I ask is that Maton make awesome acoustics and I
was wondering if there is a 12 string version out there.
Surely there is..

[guwapo_rocker]

I love my twelve string.

It's a bitch to re-string though:D

[Loons The Great]

Do you tune all twelve strings as if it were a 6 string?

[Panamark]

I think the bottom four secondary strings are an octave up, top two the same, ie you tune the top e and top b secondary strings the
same as the primary top e and top b strings..

[Panamark]

Oops, I should have added, yes its standard tuning like a normal
six string... Just tune the secondary EADG strings up an octave.
Top E an B tune the same...

[Loons The Great]

Suuup Loons?

How's the twelve string goin'?

I never owned one but they are fun as fuck to play. Is yours acoustic or electric?

[Loons The Great]

Acoustic...a black pawnshop special...it makes my lousy blues playin' sound bettah than on the six string nah...:D

[MAX]

That sounds killer dude.

How long have you been playin' and how many other guitars do you have?

I never knew you played.

[Loons The Great]

I've been bangin' on those poor strings since about 1991. I also have a '62 Yamaha acoustic that is tuned to open E and a useless Honduran ukelele'. I play a lil' piano and a whole lotta bad harmonica. I've done my homework with the blues but honestly my ego and drive far outdistance my talent.:D

I sent an awesome tape of blues to the Ribfest officials--fools never hired me to play some lowdown backporch blues, though.

[MAX]

Bro,

You should know better than anyone that with music (especially the blues) comes from the soul and not the talent. If that makes any sense?

I can shred like a motherfucker on my guitars. I have Eddie licks down to a tee. However, I cannot write shit cos I don't have "it" you know?

Totally fuckin' jealous about the harp man cos that's totally from the soul. If you can play that thing, you're a lot better off than you think. I bought one years ago and I made it sound like a retarded duck call. lol.
