Question 12 String

[KevinUK]

Has EBMM ever produced a 12 string guitar ?

I am looking for a good 12 string solid and not really impressed with what is available

 

[A.J.]

We do a double neck: Silhouette Double Neck

 

[KevinUK]

I should have said, I loathe double necks I can not deal with the two playing positions and still feel comfortable

 

[dkannen]

Then no, they don't

 

[DrKev]

he he!

 

[KevinUK]

Is there, therefore a market opportunity for MM ?

I spoke with a local dealer last weekend who informed me that he does not know of any really good solid 12's , the Rickys are an acquired taste that most don't acquire so that leaves Gibson, OK if you want a humbucking 12 string or lower grade guitars.

+1 to above - and I don't think the Gibby 12-string Les Pauls have a piezo pickup...

If EBMM were to do a 12-string with piezo, then that would be KILLER!

Humor us, Big Poppa - KevinUK and I (also named Kevin, who's family is originally from the UK) will be happy to proof the prototypes for you!

With a piezzo bridge a solid 12 string would be a simply amazing. Axis Superpsort, Rosewood neck, 12 strings and piezzo....................cant stop dribbling !!!

Highly doubt there would be much of a market for a 12 string honestly. Such a small niche.

Yeah, 12 string acoustics sure - they sound great. But 12 string electrics? I doubt there really is a huge demand for them.

Agreed.
