Help With a 12 string

Unread post by Yakko » Tue May 23, 2006 6:53 pm

Okay, so I've narrowed it down to both these guitars.

This Alvarez

(AJ60SC-12)


And

This Martin

(D12x1)

Which do you like?

Definitely the Alvarez, that is one of the sweetest twelvers i have ever played, Maple is a perfect wood for twelve strings because its punchy and doesnt resonate too long so you can get a real rhythmic sound out of it.

I've played that martin too, its just alright, nothing special.
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

Awesome, the only prob is; I trust you guys a lot, but still I would like to play it first. Would the Guitar Center be able to order it?
