 Topic: Bought 12-String Guitar Yesterday!
Posted: February 14 2005 at 08:53 |
Yes, It was very accidentally: I even didn't think about to buy any musical instrument yesterday. But walking in the centre of Moscow with my friend I've moved through the door of that shop... ...So, testing this guitar (Martinez, 12-strings) I've got a thought that I won't be able without this one - from the very 1st time I'd started to play it the instrument has seemed so relative to myself, with so nice sound and taste, mmm... Well, after 5 minutes I've went to the closer bank with my credit card, turned back and got back home as the happiest man in the World!
It seemes like I'm gonna compose, play and record music (for myself, for pleasure  ) once again - after several years I didn't do it... Who knows, with 12-strings-one another new Steve Hackett would grow in me, maybe...

In my opinion, 12-String guitars are the most beautiful sounding instruments around.

12-sting guitars are great.
More chance that one of the strings will be in tune.

There was a guitar offered for almost no money, convinced there was some catch to it I asked the salesman "why is the guitar so cheap, whats 'the catch?" The salesman said "No strings attached"
another lame joke I couldn't resist making

Yes, I see how long and nervous time I'll get tuning all those strings sometimes...
Though, it really sounds amazing - like two usual guitars! BTW, only at the day of buying it I've got to know, that the only two higher couples of strings are equal - all the rest ones are tuning in octave...

I have to take a suburb train every saturday morning and one day there was a guy with a12 string guitar and he sung One too many mornings (Dylan).It was quiet early, only a few passengers but he put so much soul in it, it was so beautiful his voice the ringing sound of the 12 string...one of my favourite "concerts"

I envy you Emperor, I've almost bought a 12-string on numerous
occassions ... as it is, with 3 kids in the house, my Vantage bass and
Korg synth have spent far too long under the bed ...

You know kids ... my 8 year-old is fine, never spoilt a thing when he
was growing up ... my 2 year-old is a giant who destroys everything in
sight ... he's already busted my six-string acoustic!

Very good and kind boy is your giant!
I think you better save your instruments not under a bed, but over the suitcase or suchlike...
