setting up a twelve string
I would like to tap the collective wisdom here. I recently received my carbon fiber Emerald X20-12. Of course, the guitar to beat is my Taylor 354-LTD, which was purchased years ago because it plays so easily -- more like a six string than a twelve.
Emerald sounds better (mellower) to my ear and is a keeper based on tone, but Taylor definitely plays better and cleaner. So it needs some set up work.
I usually set up my own six strings, so I understand the process, but I could use some advice on getting the best playability (bare nails finger style) with a twelve string. When I switch back and forth between them, I notice that the Emerald has some extra string buzz or muffled octave strings. Since I am A-B testing them side by side, we can remove the daily variation in how I'm playing them. Thanks in advance!
