Yamaha makes a quality instrument, so you can't go wrong there, and the tone is quite satisfying.
Many will tell you to be aware of "affordable"…"

A question-I have a video on my computer that I shot with my I-Phone 4s and I have been trying to…"

"Kyser for 12-string and my old 'clamp down' in need of repair. Now that hte neck has been reset on my 12, the Kyser 4 12-string might even work. Peace, Adriaan"
"Still have this one for my MArtin 12-string and while I have rebuilt it over the years it works better than the Kyser 12-string and my first rejected G7. I had a double stretch which finally disintergrated. Now that the 12's neck has been reset…"

- I have a book from Guitar Player on how to build and fix guitars.So I followed their advice on using super glue.so I took a tube that had the long pointy end and cut it on the bias.1st I put tape around the whole bridge and I had two clamps that where long enough to reach the bridge.And also a piece of wood alittle larger than the bridge,with a soft cloth between the piece of wood and the bridge.I quickly put in the glue in under the bridge I used a thin peice of a metal shim I had to help it get in there good, then I put the clamps on and tightened it up and the next day it was perfect.But now I tune down a whole step.

Thanks for your recent comment on my "Watching the River Run" video!" I appreciate your kind words...so much so that I put your quote on my website on the "People Are Talking" Page.
Here is the direct link to the page to see your quote! I added it to the "In reference to seeing "Watching the River Run" video:" about halfway down the page. Thanks, Edward

- Hi Robert,
I picked up my FG 720S-12 yesterday. I've enjoyed it quite a bit. The action is lower than I was expecting and I really like the guitar's neck. You are correct about the sound having a sweet middle & high. Thank you for confirming my guitar choice with advice and the videos you've posted. Take care.
