Whelp, I done did it.

After 3 years, I finally pulled the trigger on a D-1212 from Sweetwater.

I'll now have 5 guitars and 3 of them will be 12 strings. The next one after this will probably be *another* 12 string, got my eye on the Epiphone inspired by Gibson Hummingbird 12 string. Might have a problem if.

[Jim Owen]

Well, I see no problem. You’re the one who’s gotta restring and retune all those 12s. If you’re willing to do that, just enjoy the chimes that only a 12 will ring.

If you tried to tune all your guitars, by the time you got the last one in tune the first one would probably have a couple strings gone out already.

Maybe true in the old days but with clip on tuners the 12 strings don't take much time at all to tune correctly nowadays. I love modern technology. Sometimes.

[Brucebubs]

I've been down that path.

Nothing wrong with three twelve strings - I have one in maple, one in rosewood and one in mahogany: all different beasts. If I could find the cash, I'd like a small bodied 12 too - possibly one of the Taylor GCs or a Faith Venus 12.

Congrats! There's a thread discussion 8 string guitars... perhaps you can experiment removing 4 strings from one of your guitars to see how you like it.

I have a set of Nickel Bronze strings laying around for when it gets here. Anyone tried those on one of these guitars?

[Andromeda]

I have 4 12-strings and a Guild D-1212 12-String could be number 5! Love to hear your review!

How's the 460?

[Boneman]

Congrats! Great choice, as I can tell you from my recent experience that you will love that D1212, and will find it really hard to put down.

It's a great guitar! The action is great and so is the tone.

[ifret]

Congrats. Do what makes you happy!
(I went the other way...no 12 strings left.)

Might just have to seek one out sometime. They sure are purdy with that 41-style abalone purfling.

the Westerly series are pretty nice.

I have the F-1512

It did need a setup, it had issues but the tech I bring stuff to set it up really nicely.

a keeper for sure.
