They do not make it easy...

Welcome to the forum, happy guitar hunting.

 

Don't know about a 12 string. Can play a 6 string some. Maybe a 9 string. Do they make a 9 string guitar ? Anyway welcome to GT.

 

Blue-eyed, honestly, all the guitars you mentioned are excellent choices. And yes, the hunt is always the fun part, you are being wise to take your time and consider your options.

I don't know if I agree with lack of talent, the first step of talent is pursuing your options, and you are certainly asking all the right questions.
I know that George played a 12-string Ric, and we prefer our 5422-G over our Rickenbacker 360-12 as a personal preference.

 

You can always add a sound hole pickup to an acoustic. It's a trade off, but, what in life isn't?

 

Another trade off here:


I recently bought one to scratch my 12 string itch. It’s pretty darned cool!

 

Yep. Now I have five electric 12 strings!

 

MSRP is what keeps me at the 5220 & 5230T products.

 

Welcome to the forum, Blue Eyed Floozy. Like someone else said, I am still learning to play 6 strings, but the 12 string sounds interesting. There are lots of smart cats around here, though, so stick around.

 

I'm about to pull the trigger on a Falcon Rancher 12 string. I'm hesitating only because I was told 12 string players spend half their time tuning and the other half playing out of tune.

 

HA!

 

BEF,

Welcome,

Have a look at the ''Jet'' line, in both single and double cut.

Small body, slim neck, nice and easy to handle...

Make sure you get a proper fitting Gretsch case as well.

Happy Hunting.

BIB.

 

Welcome to the madness.
