12 string cut away, carbon fiber
Is there such a thing? and is it more, or less expensive than a wood guitar?

Yes Rainsong makes a Great Carbon 12 called the WS3000. I happen to own one and it is an awesome guitar in every way. Sounds great, plays fantastic and really sounds very even overall.
My wood guitar collection is getting smaller, & smaller these days as Carbon is just a terrific way to make an acousctic guitar that always sounds & plays the same.

I believe the Emerald X-10 and X-30 can also be ordered with a 12-string option.

Every Emerald can be ordered with the 12-string option (even the travel guitars and the basses!). i think that the best one is certainly the X20-OS
see this link to their facebook and this guitar gallery: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=3bab033ee8

Here's a couple of custom versions of the WS3000 from one of our sponsors, one has the unidirectional top for a less carbon like tone and the other is what Rainsong calls the black ice top, a look that is really growing on me. http://laguitarsales.com/pages/4537/...S3000_3399.htm http://laguitarsales.com/pages/4236/...S3000_3499.htm |

I don't disagree. Rainsong is outstanding and available to try at hopefully some store near you.
