your asking about a 12 fret ( other than a parlour or a Dread )
not really all that familiar with that - thou i own several parlours and a dread - The dread is a hand built and its one of my two favorite guitars - I have played a Martin 12 fret OM back several years ago ( 2006 ), when i was looking for a new guitar - but though the 14 fret OM28v was a much better instrument - so it came home with me.

Also- that Harmony 12'er at the end of the video brought a smile- Walk Right In was the first song I heard as a kid that I recognized as a 12 string from the recording... turns out there were two 12 strings playing! Re: the D'Add/Planet Waves micro tuner- yes, there small... small enough to be forgotten when the guitar goes back in the case, and on nitro', this can happen: OP content: Yes, 12 frets play differently, the 12 fret Gibson Advanced Jumbo feels as comfy as a short scale instrument, but with the AJ attributes. |

OP here -- Some have asked for specifics about this guitar. According to Larrivee this guitar is a stock OM-09 with custom 12 fret scale length (24-3/4"). Larrivee also wrote "I have no idea how many would have been made but safe to say not a whole lot".
Appreciate everyone's input as I learn more and more about this fine instrument. Pics attached. Cheers! |

Never had that issue, but if the Nitro finish hasn't been cured properly - then it might well happen.

All 12 fret guitars are not created equal in quality, build, setup or tone, so my experiences with them are as varied as they are/were. I do think it is a mark of your personal growth that you recognize, and are responding to, what this particular guitar requires to sound and play it's best. |
