Can anyone tell me what are the pros and cons of a 12 fret guitar, compared to a standard 14 fret guitar?
Thanks, Peter
Thanks, Peter
I bet that 00 is sweet! Never played a 12 fret 00. I had a beautiful old (31) 0-18 12 fret Martin that had tons of sound, and have just finished a 12 fret 0 size that i'm very happy with, though it's left me very curious as to what the next size up would deliver. Almost the perfect guitar for playing around the house, and with other acoustic players, i'd imagine.Originally posted by Eugene
I have both a Dread and a OO 12 fretters (Collings). They are both among the finest acoustic guitars I've had the pleasure to own/play. They truly do move alot of air...

You bethcha! Very complex and quite loud for a little box. Man, they sure had it right in the 20's and 30's!Originally posted by 57special

I believe Martin's -15 Series (all mahogany) includes either a 00 or 000 12-fret model. Might be worth checking out....Originally posted by thesedaze
I'm on the lookout for a relatively inexpensive solidwood 12 fret'er...Really looking for a V shape neck and folk style body for a fingerpicking treat.
The best quality solidwood acoustic for a steal I've found so far is the Alvarez MD90. Although it's a dread size, 14 fretter.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks
Yup, the 000-15 and 000-15S (slothead).Originally posted by Eugene
