These are indeed awesome instruments. I have not tried a 12 string for open tunings or slide, never really been my thing but I love the way this sounds and may have to try it. I own a more traditional 2014 model D12-28. First guitar in 1967 was a cheap Framus 12 string. The D12-28 was always my dream 12 and I found a sweet one used at Tone Shop in Texas a few years back and ordered it. Four 12 strings on the wall at present. Always on the lookout for others. If I could find a Martin OMC-35e in 12 string that would be at high risk of displacing almost anything else on my wall. I would have to rearrange everything so it is not quickly noticed....... (well, it works sometimes....)
I had the pleasure playing a 12 string 3 days ago in a holyday house we stayed. It is different playing I am used to. I don't know I like it. @@bobbrown6058
Slide works better when you lightly lay it on strings and move it.hahaha just sayin.pretty melody a little lighter touch and a couple of pings like in the beginning. Get a old cassett player and record it to.My father had over 200 artist under his bluegrass label API
