save all of your life and get a Taylor 655ce ;)

nah, but it is kinda hard to get a bad sounding 12...and what I mean by that is they all usually have that full sounding "chorus-y" charm...play around in a local guitar shop...

I had a cheap fender for a while...and while I'm not a Fender acoustic fan, the 12 didn't sound that bad...

I'm telling ya...I played a Taylor 655ce...nothing sounds better than a jumbo - maple-backed taylor 12er...the natural sustain and presence was increadible, and I have played a few 12 strings over the years...but I have heard only good about the Alverez guitars...I'm sure it is awesome for the money...
