Yes! I tested and played one in a shop, and it came home with me.

Thanks. Yes, there is always ''a risk'' as stepping in to music shop.

I think I will call few bigger music shops in Copenhagen (Denmark) to check if they have those on sale ... and go there to test one. This is a guitar which I will not gonna buy from any huge Germany/UK net shops.

1000euros is still already lots of money.

1/3 cheaper there would be Guild Starfire I-12 CR

And about half price (just 549euros) Danalectro 59 Vintage 12 String (different colors)

danelectro_59_vintage_12_string_vwh.htm


Or at 599euros Danalectro 59x12



I'm planning to test all of these.

Mine needed some work on the nut slots, otherwise some of the strings would stretch sharp when fretted in the first few frets and when using a capo. After the nut slots were cut properly, it works great.

Those are nice colors and believe there both available in the States as well . The Dano's are a nice 12 . Ibenez also makes a 12 string . Anything used in your area ?

Hello,

I noticed that Gretsch has published this kind of guitar. Does anyone here have one these or at least tested/played one in music shop? Personal feeling/opinions?

I've had one of these for a few months now. I'm very impressed with it. It's easier to play than the Rickenbacker 12-string I had been using. Very nice tone...bright and chiming. These are really a bargain, if you ask me. I sold the Rickenbacker for three times what I paid for the Gretsch.
