I love my six string guitars, but my 12's are special...a must have in the performers toolbox... | ||

Only ones I use: I think I have around 8. 5 in my guitar essential pak (picks, capo's, slide, tuner,etc) and the rest in guitar cases...my favorite 12 string Shubb is an old brass one from the late 80's or early 90's... | ||

The gentleman is good. I have to admit, I like the sound of a six string better, but it's pretty cool to see someone who is obviously classicaly trained do that on a twelve string. Thanks. | ||
