I have always loved the sound of 12 strings, and remember playing a friend's Yamaha 12 in high school and thinking I wanted to own one. MANY years later,
found a used Guild 212XL and owned it for a number of years. Amazing tone. Exactly what I wanted from a 12. Still, even though it was it was "just right" it didn't get much playing time. I just didn't commit to developing a repertoire for a 12. So after years of playing it a few hours a year, I sold it. I still miss the sound/tone, but I am pretty sure that I wouldn't have played it much more than I did.
