Logan commented on Edward Sparks's group Epiphone Owners Group

"Agreed, that looks gorgeous Jason. Never even thought about changing the pickguard on mine... until I saw that picture!"

Logan replied to Logan's discussion Framus 5/296 Texan 12-String - Tuner Question in the group Framus Guitar

"I like your philosophy Allen - it's about the sound. Lately I've been obsessively working on my Stratocaster to get "the tone" and it drives my bandmates crazy. They'll say that no one will ever notice the small…"

Allen replied to Logan's discussion Framus 5/296 Texan 12-String - Tuner Question in the group Framus Guitar

"Hi Logan, Sorry to read that your Framus isn't worth repairing. I met a guy who repaired one with a block issue himself, but I think doing so he wasted the time that should have used to play on a better one. I can't give advice on recent…"

"Absolutely no problem! Just a thought - I did this with my daughter's guitar - Jud actually went to the Walden dealer (very close to him) to check out the T550 for me. I'm sure he'd check out the S12's at Quarternote as well - he…"

"Oh, and check out the online inventory of Wolfe Guitars - http://www.gbase.com/stores/wolfe-guitars/inventory - lots of great info, and some pretty 12-strings to look at... :-) Here's one: http://www.gbase.com/gear/tacoma-em912 "

Logan replied to Logan's discussion Framus 5/296 Texan 12-String - Tuner Question in the group Framus Guitar

"Well, the guitar came in the mail yesterday and looks to be in pretty decent shape. The frets are low but I've read that's pretty common on these guitars - they don't seem to be pitted or worn too much. The zero fret and…"

Logan replied to Dean Tyler's discussion OMCX1KE in the group Martin Owners

"Martins require a special truss rod tool with an extended handle - the nut is under the end of the fretboard (in the soundhole) but can't be reached with a standard allen wrench. At least that's what I've found on my…"

"I have been on Internet looking for 12 string guitar tuning gear, and I have seen some of them that look similar to the ones on my Framus, at prices around $ 17 or 18. But I don't trust these open gear rails unless I know the brand, some of the…"

Just a thought - I did this with my daughter's guitar - Jud actually went to the Walden dealer (very close to him) to check out the T550 for me. I'm sure he'd check out the S12's at Quarternote as well - he found them because he's got 12 string GAS as well - mine is in remission (for now...) ;-)

I don't know whether you want electronics or a straight acoustic but, if you'd be willing to have one shipped to you, Quarternote Music in NC has 2 Seagull S12's - one straight acoustic, one with the Q1 electronics - for good prices. Supposedly 2010 models, but brand new, the acoustic is in the $300's and the Q1 is in the $400's - leave a comment for Jud Hair (who posted about them) for more exact prices...

Since you loved the 6 string, you'd probably love the 12-string as well... :-)

The cedar-topped Seagull Coastline Cedar 12 has a satin finish - shop in my town has one w/QI electronics - I played it recently - beautiful sound, a bit warmer than my Giannini, which is solid spruce-topped, laminate pau-ferro/morado (Bolivian Rosewood) back and sides. Spruce/rosewood, typically, is a slightly warmer combination than spruce/mahogany, IMHO...
Also, you could look at the LAG Tramontane T200D12, which is a nice-looking solid cedar topped instrument - I've never played one...
Good Luck!

But you also asked for recommendations - so...

Are you looking for spruce or cedar topped? My recommendations include:

Seagull S12 - solid cedar topped, laminate wild cherry back and sides - about $400 street (w/o electronics)

Norman B18-12 or Norman B20-12 - the 18 is cedar topped, the 20 spruce...

Simon & Patrick Woodland 12 Spruce

Art & Lutherie 12 Cedar Antique Burst - about $500 street (w/o electronics)

The 4 above are from the Godin family of acoustic guitars - made in Canada!

Also, Walden makes a good 12 string - the D552 - solid spruce top, laminate mahogany back and sides - about $370 street - here's a link to one at an online dealer I respect in NC (I bought my daughter's Walden T550 from him) - http://holeinthewood.com/acoustic-guitars-dreadnought-c-1_6/walden-guitars-d552-12-string-natura-series-dreadnought

Finally, I would strongly suggest that you try to find a Giannini Craviola 12-string to play - I have one, and they are extremely comfortable to play, and have a fantastic tone...

Enjoy the hunt!
