My son's birthday is comming up and we are trying to think what to get him..
He wants a 12 string acoustic. What is good? Takamine? Seagull? don't want to break the bank... Also looking for a mixer to interface with the computer, I am thinking about a powered mackie. 8 channel. We need to add several instruments and mic's. I have a tascam board now, but it doesn't power any monitor speakers. Looking for something that can travel. Thanks, herb |

Whichever brand of 12 string you decide on, make sure the truss rod is good, because you'll be tightening it at least once a year from the string tension of the 12. Always tune a 12 string a full note down, and use a capo to help with the tension. I'm really partial to my Ovation 12, since they make a special neck for them that can be tuned to pitch & left that way. I'm also very partial to the "Gibson/Epiphone" 12 string SG singleneck I built. Since Gibson never built one, and I wanted one, I built it myself. I can't even bear to take it apart to paint it.
