So I'm sitting at home and it hits me,wow,I don't have a 12 string! I mean,I've written songs on 12 string,I've made records with a 12 string,I've busked with 12 strings.I DON'T HAVE A 12 STRING!!! (That's one of the down sides of moving a lot,too much stuff to carry.) So I get in the car and go 4 miles to my local Mega Lo Guitar Mart,and as if on cue,there's a salesman who says,"Check this out." It's a used Simon & Patrick 12 string that the store had just put a new set of Elixir strings on.I lookat it,it's fairly beat up,needs a truss rod tweak,etc. but then I start strumming it,and I'm smiling! It sounds good! Solid Cedar top,laminated Wild Cherry back and sides. I leave a half hour later with it for $246 out the door. After some research I now know that it's one of LaSiDo's brands out of La Patrie in Quebec,they also make Seagull which I've also played since,also very good for the price.I'm looking for a pickup for it now,I think I'm gonna try the Baggs iBeam.
