Apart from the Mosrite Ventures 12 (which is a very good guitar, the
Joe Maphis double neck had a great 12 string Mosrite neck. The 12ver I
use now for touring is an Epiphone Elitist Riviera 12-String and it's
like a semi hollow 335. The Beach Boys used one for years and it is
truly a fabulous instrument for stage. Very reliable.
