I use 12-string electrics for the occasional change in the surf set. It sounds
good for Slaughter on 10th Ave for instance. I use a 12-string acoustic for
fingerstyle ragtime.

What do you guys use your 12 strings for? I really like the sound,
but I wonder how much I would use it. On the other hand, I could
easily justify another guitar if it had 12 strings instead of only
six!
anybody play a danelectro 12 string? i tried one, and the neck was
a little narrower that my accoustic 12, but still kinda wide.
