What is interesting is that with five pages of posts not one 12 string has appeared. I realize the 12 stringers are rarely somebody's main player but there is a certain itch that only a 12 string can scratch. I love the 1960s Gibson 12 string guitars. You can argue all day about which body shape and which of the numerous bridge configurations were the best but no matter which you prefer, there was nothing else out there even remotely similar in sound. As far as I know, still isn't. I played an early 1963 B45-12 for years. Traded it off and instantly regretted it. Luckily it was a mistake I did not have to live with and am going to pick up a 1961 slope shoulder version at the end of the week.
