hello! if you want to spend $1000 or less on a 12 string, you may be setting yourself up for frustration. less expensive ones can go out of tune easily and have intonation problems also. I have a LKSM Taylor 12 that cost me $2300 years ago. It's great. I recently saw one on AGF for $1800. So if you keep your eyes open and can scrape together another $800 it would be a good idea. Well worth avoiding problems later. Not to mention the superior tone. Best wishes and God bless.
