I had a nice westerly Guild dread size (the model Tom Petty) plays and it was ok. Sold it off with a matching 6 string.
My Dad has played a Yairi 12 for years that has great action and sound and like all Yairi's they are undervalued on the used market for the quality.
I recently picked up a used made in Japan (f prefix in the model) Takamine cut away 12 with electronics that plays like a dream and has that big 12 string sound for $300. That was a good deal but I have seen others like it for not much more. If I needed another 12 I would look at the Tak's first. Great bang for the buck.
