No,I didn't really play too many others. I kind of knew what I wanted. I have a B45, mahogany, that I like just fine, but its got a darker, more woody sound. I kind of wanted a brighter tone, that I knew the rosewood Martin would give me. I haven't made up my mind if I'm going to try to sell the B45 or not. I just had the neck reset, and it plays great.

Elmer Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Looks very cool...isn't it a pain to tune it? Are the sets of strings each time the same tone or are there people who even going to tune the pairs different? Never played a 12 string so, I have no clue.

I use an electronic tuner, so its not too bad. The pairs of strings are tuned an octave apart until you get to the high E and B, which are tuned the same. I don't know of any exotic tunings where they would be tuned to different notes. I have never heard of any, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
