Are all 12-string CF guitars now discontinued?
Is anyone still making a Carbon Fiber 12-string?
Rainsong = Discontinued CA = Discontinued. Love to have a 12-string to go along with my Shorty.

Rumor has it that one of the other manufacturers is planning to release a new 12 string soon, but I can't speak to the details. Cheers, Tom |

Joe at Blackbird guitars has also made 12 string guitars. Here's a youtube video of a Blackbird Rider 12 String.

Emerald is the one CF manufacturer still offering production 12-string guitars.

They don't have any listed on their website, but I suspect you are right that Alister will still make one.

https://www.facebook.com/EmeraldGuitarCompany There have been multiple 12-string references recently. If you look at their custom options page (this is for the X10), 12-string is listed for 350 Euros. |

Want 1 3/4 12 string neck? They'll do it. 1 7/8 12 string neck? They'll do it. 2 inch neck? No problem. Emerald simply has a different approach to building CF guitars and no one has come close to their flexibility yet. |

I ordered my X20OS 12-string with a 1.75" nut and 24" scale.

I got nothing except a rumor I heard in passing when I griped this past summer about no stock 12 string CF guitars anymore. Seems I overheard there may be a new offering within the year by one of the current CF manufacturers. It's just a rumor and probably not worth what you paid for it.

It is very, very likely he can make any radius you want if you do not want 16". |

My Taylor is 15", my Larrivee is 17. I tend to prefer flatter. Tight like an Ovation is hard to play.
16" would match a Martin or Breedlove and the both make easy to play 12s. Also, just sold my Guild D-4-12 this afternoon, so I have another $600 to put into the Carbon Fiber 12-string fund.
