God 12-strings are amazing. Just so much of a good thing. I've always wanted one but feared what I would do with it. I've tried one before and it seems pretty hard. Oh well, your guitar sounded pretty nice, and a vintage like that is always a nice investment. Overall, badass man.

Thanks for telling me. Now an enormous cloud of jealousy has come over me.

np. my mom bought it when she was around my age. she doesnt play anymore, and i picked it up after 30 years of it laying in a case.

i couldn't tell you from the recording....because I would have to see it and play the guitar myself to tell you if it was worth it to trade it for a better one....but...

If you do want my advice I would say keep it..only for nostalgic reasons...I mean your mom bought it such a long time ago...why get rid of it?

Just save up and buy another if you really want another one...don't get rid of it for economic reasons.

Peace,

man, i wouldnt trade it for another guitar if you already have it. a 12 string can be good to improve finger strength, although personally i dont think they are any harder than 6-strings. you should save up and get a 6, though, because you wont learn right on a 12, its too hard to learn good muting techniques.
id say owning a 12 is good for screwing around every once in a while, as well as recording. ive had one for about a year now and i barely ever play it, it just loses appeal to me.
