the takamine 12 string that looks like the gibson jumbo style is a killer 12 string.

Re: in the market for a 12-string
can't go wrong with a seagull. i have a seagull 6 string that i love. for 12 string though i bought the martin one that is not real wood except for the top. i'm probably in the minority but i LOVE that guitar. sounds great to me and because the neck is not wood it rarely goes out of tune, which i believe is a common issue for 12 strings. got it for $550.

About your Martin that's "not real wood except for the top".....I just bought a 6 string model last week, the DX1R and I LOVE it!! Really didn't want to spend anymore than $600.00 for an acoustic, tried all kinds and this particular Martin was one I never considered until I played it. Couldn't believe how good the sound that comes from within. I'll tell ya, considering that it's a "budget guitar" and the materials it's made from I think it's one of the better bang for the buck guitars.

Make sure that whatever you get that the guitar has great tuners ... if not plan on adding extra bucks for 12 tuners.

Seagulls are schweet and don't strain the wallet too much. Love my S6+ spruce.

+1 I love that guitar everytime I play it. It's gone up $100 since I first started GASsing for it a few years ago too... I'd like the 6 and 12 set.

Re: in the market for a 12-string
anyone know any good electric 12 strings? not double necks, preferably not a rickenbaker or a fender XII
