The pictures don't do the Guitars any justice, Do you like the DTAR Multi Source? I tried to have that put on my D-41Special when I ordered it and I was told it couldn't be done . That was the only diapointment that I had with the Martin experiance. That and having to wait almost 8 months for it

Hey Bernie, I love my J12-40. It's the best sounding 12 string I've ever played. It deserves to be on your wish list.
Edward, I've got one picture of my J12-40 on my page now but I'll add a few more. Thanks for the interest!

J body Martins are wonderful and been around a number of years now. It's the 0000 or M body with the Dreadnought depth. In my opinion they sound better than the Dreadnought (but thats just my opinion). Martin actually came out with a newer body size just this year called the "Grand J". It looks more like a Gibson Jumbo than the 0000 or M. Although I own a J-40C and a J-41S, I have never played a "Grand J". I also believe the first "Grand J" was the 12 string Grand J12-40 and was a new model in '09.

I just joined the group after reading many of your comments. It looks like there is a lot of useful info passed around. I have a Martin J12-40 and an Ovation "Glen Campbell 1118-4 shallow body. Looking forward to getting involved.

O.K. Boys, Here's the story:
I know almost everything about the LL16-12, but never played one or heard it played. I like almost all about it except for the grafted headstock. On the six string line there's the LL16 and over it the LL26 and LL36. Both (26 and 36) have a particular bracing system that differs from the lower models. It's called "Square bracing" and they say it better transfer the sound from the top and back. Also the neck is different: it's 5 ply instead of 3 and not grafted headstock. I tried to contact Yamaha to ask for a (non existent) LL26-12, that would be a super 12 string acoustic at a price just a bit over the LL16-12. It's impossible to send them an e-mail because no address is given for the Custom Shop. The Italian Yamaha service answered that they don't make Custom guitars. So, what the hell is there for, a Custom Shop???? I'm sure if I'd manage to contact them directly in Japan, they would consider to produce what could became a magnificent competitor for Guild, Taylor, Martin and all those brands who produce wonderful 12 strings, but at prices that are not for common mortals!

Maybe it needed to be checked to make sure it was of proper content?
