dewayne Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 A few years ago I bought a Blue Ridge 12 string with the confidence that I would soon be able to remove my finger picks and apply my scruggs style technique to the 12 string and be able to emulate the one and only Leo Kotke.......... Well, it did kind of sound like him, if he flipped his guitar to lefty and played it with his bare feet. just had to get that off my chest. So sad 2
EdwardMarlowe Posted October 27, 2025 Posted October 27, 2025 Blue Ridge make a good looking instrument. Still got my fingers crossed they'll discover left handed players one day.
Kiwi Posted October 31, 2025 Posted October 31, 2025 A 12 string without a warped top seems a very rare thing these days. I would go for a Rainsong but the used prices are a little nuts. None of the composite acoustic guitar makers here in China do a 12 string.
Graham50 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I had a Taylor 12 for a number of years and previously a Takamine. Both absolutely great, but some how I found the 12 limited, not every song needs the jingle jangle, so I sold them and each time replaced them with a good 6 string. You can always stick a chorus pedal on and get a pretty similar sound.
