reasonably priced 12-strings

Unread post by t41 » Mon Nov 24, 2003 2:22 pm

i am looking into $300-600 12-string guitars. right now alvarez is a the top my list (the AJ60SC-12 maple jumbo or the mahogany dreadnought MD8012). anyone own these? anything else i should look at and any other advice regarding 12-strings? i am looking for a solid-wood 12-string guitar to strum on and have fun with, not really for gigging, though being able to plug in is a plus. advice would be appreciated.

For Washburns, the D46SCE12 is really nice and its around $700 or non-acoustic/electric for around $500 and the D10S 12 is a little cheaper but still a pretty nice guitar for around $300.

Fatjack has an Alvarez 12 string, I believe.

Talk to him, he's pro-alvarezist.

Tak's are good mid range 12 strings.

i've never played an alvarez...aparently they are great too. :P
