Not as bad as some cheap 12 strings I've seen, but after reading the article on why the Chimaera was created, I definitely saw proof of what Mr Sambora was talking about. Didn't bother to try it, being able to see a significant difference between the 6 and 12 at the bridge I pretty much knew what to expect.
What brand was it? I have a Yairi wood double.
