I love the tone that a 12 string produces.
In reality, I only play a 12 string about 5% of my playing time.
That makes it hard to justify owning a high end 12 string.
I currently own a Crafter 12 string that is a solid top Dred shaped guitar from Korea. If fits my needs for a 12 string and it cost under $500.00.
I will always have a 12 string in the stable.

I agree. I have an Alvarez AD-60s 12-string. Solid top, solid mohagony back and sides. Great sound. I bought it used for $280 from a local music store. It is not electric, which is my only regret. But, I only take it out and play it occasionally. So, I agree that for my needs, having a 12-string that is "high end" is not smart.
