Worth it?

who has a twelve string? was it worth the money, i have about 400 dollars in my account right now, but im not really willing to dish out that much. i played a 12 string yamaha at my local guitar store today and i really liked it. it costs about 320. the real question im trying to ask is... do you play it enough to justify the money you spent? any limitations to the stuff you can play with it? just looking for some opinions...

i love my 12 string.... beautiful... the only thing i think that you cannot play on it is fast solos... otherwise its fine... you can play stuff like TB or the stone fine.

got mine for free...the guy who lent it to me is gonna want it back someday :roll:

I would but one in the future, but I don't see a
"need" for one...I'd rather have another 6...

i already have two sixes (electric and acoustic), and its either buying a twelve or getting somehting like a banjo and mandolin (but i'd have to learn those first

)

hard choice there...mandolin is fairly easy to pick up...the buddy who lent me the 12 also has a mandolin

banjo would be cool, but I would stick with the good old acoustic...but thats me...if you think you will get use out of the banjo, get it...if you are persuing guitar, go for the 12...

I personally would like to eventually own a 12 string.. I have 2 electic 6 strings, and soon to be 2 acoustic 6 strings.. a 12 string would be nice.. i'd say go for it

Go for the 12 string. I don't play mine often but it's definitely nice to have. I got my Segaull S12+ on eBay for a total of $240 (includes shipping). A little risky buying on-line and from eBay, no less, but the guitar's in nice shape and it sounds great.

the thing is with 12 strings, is they ALL sound amazing...less you hve the cash, the higher price just equals better than great...

most any 12 = 100% cool

pricier 12's = 110% cool

:lol:

...so don't necissarily buy an expensive one...

wasn't really planning on it. unlike some people i know :wink:

, i don't have the cash for something as expensive as a Taylor 814ces...

and btw Ryopan: Oprah- she's fat, she's thin, she's fat, she's thin,... why won't she pick a body a go with it?

WHO ARE THE AD WIZARDS WHO CAME UP WITH THAT ONE?!

i played twelve string for the first time on sunday and played JTR, sounded frikken great!! soooo much different than a regular 6-er....grey street sound good two...JTR was meant for the 12-er though, what a fun song....but my only problem with the 12-er....re-stringing it! i think i'm too lazy to want to do that....it seems like it'd be a real b!tch
