Re: stringing 12 string
you can do it either way...what kind of 12 string is it?If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

Re: stringing 12 string
Generally speaking, when held in the playing position, the thinner string is above the thicker. I believe Rickenbackers are the opposite. The best thing to do is to look at the nut - the slots for the octave strings will obviously be a lot thinner.Comment

Re: stringing 12 string
However you prefer, but in my experience in about 80-90% of the cases the octave (thinner) string is above the thicker one. I assume because itīs generally easier to strum that way and hit all the strings without compensating for height. Difference is minimal, though

If in doubt, you should be able to tell by looking at the nut. The slots should be cut a little wider and deeper to accommodate the larger strings.THE LOST ART OF BEING STOIC
