More than one guitar?

It all depends on your style. I would definitely reccomend getting a single great guitar before getting multiple guitars though.

I personally will probably end up with at least 4 acoustics before it's all said and done:

1 12 string
1 dreadnaughtish strummer
1 fingerpicker
1 extra for alt tunings

That's definitely the minimum for acoustics. Another strong possibility would be a bari.

And then there are the electrics of course.

12 strings arent that expensive

Maybe if you got lots of money but $800 is worth a lot of money to me man. Give your head a shake.

i have 2 guitars at the moment, my takemine g-series (that guitar has taken a hell of a beating, i'd recommend it to anyone who wants a good affordable guitar (300$)) and my danelectro '56 U2 reissue.
i had a 300$ fender 12-string acoustic, but i traded it in on the danelectro. my take on 12 strings is this:if you can afford it, buy one. they are great to have lying around so when you get in the mood to play one you have it. my main problem was that i wasn't playing it enough to make having one worthwhile. if i had the cash though, i'd definitely buy a 12. in your case though, i might buy a really nice 6 string. its always better to have a good main axe than several different ones. invest in an instrument you'll play a lot.

i only paid 205 for my 12 string... its not great but then again im not willing to pay the amount for a good one- so it suits its purpose, stays in tune, and sounds good

by the way i got my 6 string used off of a friend for 75 bucks, neither he nor i knew if it was good at all at the time... dont let price fool you, there are plenty of deals out there

i still stand by my questioning of a $200 twelve string's quality
