second one is a 1980. Older guitars would have to sell at a big discount for me to buy one. |

I have a used Takamine EF381SC that I got for $500. It is a great, plugged in, gigging 12 string. At home, though, the 12 I play is my Guild F412. Won't find one of those for $1,000 or less, but it's plainer cousin the JF30-12 as others have said, can be had used for $1,000 or less.

They are also both mine. However four 12-strings is really at least one too many.

I have a Breedlove atlas 12 string that I love! I was in the market for one for four years and played many different twelves, never a guild though. The string spacing on the breedlove is perfect and does not feel oversized in my hands when I play. This is my main live guitar. Sound wise it beat out the rest and for finger style its sings like the angels. It has a great presence for a concert sized body. Check out the other 12 string threads and you will not get too far before you find mention of breedloves, there is a lot of love for these and rightfully so.

I went with a Vintage Kasuo Yairi Alvarez. Never regretted it one second.

I bought a Breedlove Atlas series (solid sitka top , mahog laminate b & s) 12 string new around 7 years ago for $750 at GC. A sweet, easy to play instrument that gets raves whenever I play out on it. In my opinion it blows away a friend's Taylor 356 (at more than twice the price--or is it 355?????), although I covet a high-end Taylor 12, especially a Koa -bodied Taylor. Not sure how Breedlove has changed its nomenclature since 2006, but at the time the Atlas series had Asian-made parts with final assembly in Oregon. Not much low end growl in standard tuning but lots of jingle jangle.

I really like the Harmony Stella 922 and Sovereign 1270 12 stringers. Key is to find one with a good neck and you will have to live with tuning the thing down but these guitars have a sound all their own that I prefer over pretty much anything else other than an early Gibson B45-12.

Look for a used Alvarez or Yairi. They make the best sounding 12 strings I have ever played.
Here's a photo of me playing my Alvarez.
