taylor550-12.jpg

This used Taylor 550 Dreadnaught 12 string came from Guitarville in Seattle, Washington. It has solid mahogany back and sides with a spruce top. This guitar has a low action and is easy to play for a 12 string. Rudy from Rudy's Music in Snohomish Washington installed a Fishman Acoustic Natural pickup in this one and it is sweet. (I drop my 12 strings 1/2 or even one full step and capo up.)

This Seagull SM (12) has ribbon mahogany veneer back and sides with a solid spruce top. For 400 bucks it is one of the best playing guitars I have.

This Guild JF30-12 BL Jumbo maple 12 string is a real beauty. It is in immaculate shape and was found in a Pawn Shop. It has maple veneer back and sides with a spruce top. I also had a Fishman pickup installed in this one by Rudy's Music.

Here is a nice one on a budget. A Yamaha FG-460S-12A. Boy is that a model number or what? It has a solid spruce top with veneer back and sides with a perloid inlay around the top and sound hole. It has sealed gold tuners too. I put nickel strings on this one for a twangy sound. I picked it up used at the Red Fiddle in Lakewood Wa.

I bought this old tank at Deufer Music in Wurzburg Germany in 1975 while playing Army with Uncle Sam. It's an Eko 12 String. This plywood axe is bulletproof now that a Bridge Doctor was installed. Throw it in the trunk in 100 degrees???? No problem! I still have this puppy! Check out that bodacious pickguard!

Even though this Takemine EF-385 12 string has damage to the lower bout it still sounds great. The on board equalizer gives this more of a treble sound. It is an older system but I like it. Another used beater, all this one needs is a decent set of sealed tuners and it is hot to go.
