breserlal , Most acoustic players I know get a 12 string at some point. They're a lot of fun and sound great , but when the thrill is gone they usually end up as wall art or just stored away somewhere. "But" Pulling the low octave strings off and leaving the 4 high octave and 1 of the high B and E strings on is "awesome". Normal basic chords are greatly enhanced. Pair this with a regular guitar and you're splitting a 12 string in half but doesn't sound the same at all especially if panned apart. Stringing a regular 6 string this way works also but it's rough on the neck. Not so on a 12 string and the truss rod normally needs backing off. Can't have too many guitars.. ms
