Default 12 string or 6 Mungo Jerry ?

Wood shedding again, which would be better for solo acoustic (and yes I am reading the words at this point). Your input would be helpful.

Thanks

I'm a little bias towards the 12-string for a solo act because it generally yields a bigger sound. In this case however, the 12 didn't sound THAT much bigger on my system, so I could live with either...only your ears can know for sure!

Not much help, huh?

I say go for the 6 stringer- more clarity on the lead melody stuff than the 12.
