My first guitar was a 1974 Ovation Pacemaker sunburst 12-string, which I still have. I'm no longer able to play it because of the depth of the body, but it is one of the most powerful, yet sweet sounding, most playable 12-strings I've ever played. I had it set up a few months back thinking that I might be able to play it standing up, but that deep bowl still bothers my shoulder.

I seem to have a need to have a 12-string in my life, so I bought a Godin A-12, which is the easiest fretting guitar that I've ever played (almost as easy as an electric). It is very quiet unplugged, so that gets some play time both plugged in and later at night when I need to keep the volume down.

For the past 6 months, I've been GASing for a Taylor 552ce or 562ce, which is a lovely small body 12-string that is also really easy to play and has surprising volume for its size. But, with a Halcyon build just starting, I need to lay low for a while.
