Members IAmAScientist Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 Any recommendations? I don't want to end up with some crappy Fender heavily laminted acoustic that sounds like balls. Anyone know if the Ovation Pinnacle Series is any good? The Electric Guitar forum wasn't being particularly helpful....any recommendations from ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jonny guitar Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 Just make sure the tuner are really good otherwise you will hate picking up your inexpensive 12 string b/c you will be spending 80% of your time tweaking the tuning. Cheap 12 strings are the worst for those problems. I had a Rhode Island early 70's Guild that was {censored}ing amazing...it was so loud I could barely hear my Martin d-35 (a very loud guitar) when both were being played. Picked it up for 400 Canadian and sold it for 1400 Canadian:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played many bad 12-strings, which is why I thought I'd ask this forum's advice on which brands tended to be less crappy. Deans and Ovations are cheap and look decent to me. Are either of these brands reasonably nice to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IAmAScientist Posted December 19, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 It looks like Epiphone makes so pretty nice looking 12-string acoustics...they sell copies of the Hummingbird, the EJ-200, and more. Anyone ever played an Epiphone acoustic? One of the newer ones? From my experience with Epiphone eletrics, I would never buy one again, but maybe the acoustics are better? Let me know.
