I own about 5 guitars, including a rickenbacker, but after listening to some of my favorite musicians, I'm thinking of buying a 12-string acoustinc -

best recommendations I've seen for mid-price are the Guild GAD212 although there's always a Taylor nut around willing to drop 2K on another one - (already got a Taylor 6 string)

Guild 12-strings are dual trussed-rod and can be tuned up to standard tuning - otherwise you're risking ripping the top off it or else having to downtune it.

This will by my hopefully last purchase before I crack down and finish that album I've been working on - recorded 4 drum tracks with a friend on Tuesday, but I'm waffling on it - now that I'm no longer in a band and not getting out with them much, I'm thinking of doing this album solo and just trying to book some coffeeshop shows - back to the roots.
