Have you played a 12 string?
A 12 string is set up differently, it's got strings set up in octave pairs, you play it just like a 6 string. It just has a bigger sound, as opposed to a 7 or 8 string where strings are added to increase the guitar's range.

Nice set up Branch...  :aok

I play a Les Paul Studio,  All black,  chrome hardware.  Through a 200 watt fender 2x12 SS early 80s amp with a bunch of vintage boss effects.   I also play a cheapy Takamine acoustic.

Really!  I thought it could play more notes.   :cheers:

I have a very, very old Aria acoustic/classical guitar. I've made attempts to find out it's particular model and age,
unfortunately with no avail. It needs a new set of strings at the moment, but she still sound like a beauty.
I'm afraid to go out and buy some strings for I am unsure if she needs a particular type or brand, and there seems
to be a lack of specialists nearby, even though I live in a more populated area of Alaska.

I have another classical guitar as well, but considering it was previously my older brother's it's not in good shape.
I constantly forget the maker.

Will take pictures if anyone wants a look? Assuming I can find some free time...

I have a 30 year old Aria, unfortunately the only thing worth any money on it is the DiMazio PAF pro pickup I fitted.

Epiphone Les Paul and Epiphone Supernova...(young and foolish)

Vox ac-50 and too many pedals to name.

Will buy a fender bassman amp one day! Used one in a studio once and easily the best amp I've ever heard.

Epi Sheraton natural in my atic and computerised amp thing,

I've owned alot of guitars over the years, Fender,Jackson,Travis Bean,and have played alot of "boutique" guitars.

Nothing says Rock and Roll like a Gibson through a Marshall.

This DC is my favorite out of everything I've ever tried.

I used to be a pro - in the seventies (guitar amps were steam driven them days).
Had a Les Paul and various others when I was younger.
Now got a Les Paul Recording Copy, Gibson 12 string, Stratocaster under my bed quietly rusting away.

Favourite memory - playing on stage with a Selmer 30 with sprung reverb.
Used to play 'The Boxer' (I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told)
In the chorus I'd kick the amp (Lie la lie -- <BOOOOOM> Lie la lie lie lie lie)
Once accidentally kicked it off the stage (Lie la (Oh Crap) lie -- <BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM> Lie la lie (aieeeeeeeee) lie lie lie (my leg is broken!!!)...)

We are a "musical" family and we seem to "collect" instruments  :D

Personally I have a Jackson 6 string, and LesPaul copy 6 string, and a Yamaha acoustic 6 string. Also a 5 piece drum set.

Oldest son has 2 keyboards, a Casio and a Yamaha

Youngest son has a 12 string acoustic, a 6 string acoustic, 2 BC Rich guitars, a Warlock and a Beast. The Beast we just replaced the pick-ups to EMG powered ones.

Wife plays the piano (we have an upright player) and the tenor sax.

While none of us are pros, we do all have a good time!
