Default CEO-7 12 string?

I was just thinking about a smaller bodied 12 string, much like what a CEO 7 would be like, only as a 12 string...I think it would be quite a fun little guitar for ragtime, blues, etc...

Collings make a small body 12-string.
It looks beautifully made and I've heard it being played superbly in demo clips but I'm pretty sure I'd grow tired of that tone/sound after a couple of minutes.
Just my take, I'm sure others will disagree.

Someone here reported on a smaller Pono 12 string and posted pictures and soundclip. That was a quite impressive guitar ...

A CEO7-12 would be fun. In case you missed it, Taylor announced several 12-String 12-Fret Concert models at NAMM. The 552ce with it's Cedar top sounds, and plays like a dream.

not really what you were asking for , but an interesting take on small 12 strings.

Yes, the Emerald Amicus is an intriguing little instrument. Tuned like a guitar, but D to D, like capoing at the tenth fret.

+1 This. I played one and they are a lot of fun. Taylor makes exceptionally playable and good sounding 12 string guitars.

You won't get any closer to a CEO-7 than my Flammang L-40 12 string.



Like the L-40 6 string that David built for me (to the right), it's a shallow body, and very comfortable for my height.
