The Mosrite Ventures XII is the best electric 12 string I've played.
It's got a comfortable neck. I think the neck width is the same as
tthat of a Rick 12. Acoustic 12 string necks are wide but I can't
think of any electric 12-string neck that I would consider wide. I
used to have a Rick 12 string, the big double bound one, and I could
never get it intonated correctly. I realize now that I coulda put a
12 piece bridge on it but I sold instead.
