My awesome 12 string is for sale on AGF so that answers this question. I like the sound of it on some songs but its more hastle than its worth to carry around so it just doesn't get played a lot. Have to let it go.

For you solo “giggers”…do you use both a 6 string and a 12 string?
For me it depends on the gig. I am always equipped to use both a 6 and 12 string. I have an A-B switch on the pedal board and 6 and 12 string guitar settings on my TC HELICON Play Acoustic. When I bring the 12, I start my second set with about 6-7 12 string songs, then finish the set with the six. Most people don’t notice the difference, those who really know music really like it.

This is my feeling, too. My only issue is that in some venues my 12-string (a 50 year-old Framus) doesn't project well, which requires me to mic it. Not all venues are able to do so, or their sound guy doesn't know how. I'm not really a fan of amplified acoustics, but reality says that it's needed in some places.

They are a challenge, I'll admit. Don't tune the string open tune the notes of the root chord - works better for me. Martin - tricky, Harmony better.
