12 string guitars

[1finny]

Been watching some old music recently and they used to crop up a fair bit.
Even to the point Genesis had A 12 string and bass guitar all in one.

Don‘t recall them playing a part in bands over the last 30 years or so?

Johnny Marr use to play a Rickenbacker 330/6 12 string back in the day when he was in the Smiths.

They sound great but are a pain in the **** to tune

Played one in my local shop, the sound is very rich and is enjoyable to strum.
However I couldnt see how much I would play it.

I bought a six string bass, now that is fun to play in a variety of ways, however you do need very strong hands.
