Hey i was looking at getting a 12 string guitar just to mess around with. I was looking at the washburn J28S 12DL http://www.washburn.com/acoustics/jumbos/j28s12dl.htm

what do u think of this guitar? any other 12 strings i should look at my price range is about $900 or a little more.

thanks
Ryan

its not as much a pain in the ass as its just time consuming... takes more than twice as long as a 6 but if you have a good electric tuner and have a decent guitar its not too bad

takes me an hour to string my 12er. royal pain but its a nice guitar so I don't mind it that much. I bought in August and I just recently re-strung it for the 2nd time. I'm good for another couple of months.
