I have no idea who this guy is, but this has to be the most brilliant tone I've heard out of a 12 string! Or close to it.

Sounds really nice, but as a metalhead I demand it have another 12 strings.

I like so many genre's of music I frequently butt heads with myself. I love a nice sounding acoustic though.

Ohhh I'm right there with ya, one week I want to do something like Muse the next week it's System of a down. Then it's something like Morbid Angel or Metallica, I'll get bored of that and then start playing Moonlight Sonata and get in the mood to some classical and then do a bit of Modern Pop music with a hint of 70's funk. I think it's down to just loving music, instruments and types of vocals are irrelevant to me. It's whatever excites the senses in one way or another.. |

I'm the same, I'll go from playing Country to a Sade or Acoustic Alchemy type thing, still love to play metal, but I'm almost 52 and don't want to play that circuit. I want something relaxed.

My custom built, all maple Telecaster 12 string is very unique sounding. It's a heavy birdseye maple body with over 175 rings. The neck is a 1969 Fender Shennadoah acoustic neck with binding and square mother of toilet seat inlays. The pickups were custom wound for me by Semour Duncan back in 1979, the year I built it. They are wound to 2k ohms per coil giving a 32k hz bandwidth for a unique 'acoustic-electric' sound.
It's active with a 2 band EQ, I finished it in nitrocelluose water clear bar-top laquer like we used at Rex Bogue on those custom guitars,(Mahavishnu Orchestra double neck). If I ever figure out how to post a pic here I'll stick a shot of it up here.

That is quite a nice sound there Tony. It's a Martin 12 string I think.

I'm getting a Takamine 12 pretty shortly, I went back and forth between Martin, Taylor, Tak. and Dreadnaught/Jumbo. I settled on a Takamine 12 string Dreadnaught.

Takamine's are good, somewhere between a Gibson and a Martin.
