Hello all!

I finally got a 12 string, something I've been GAS-ing for for a few years now. It's an Applause AE35. Got it used for 200 bucks at a local guitar store, so I'd say I got a pretty good deal on it. It looks almost new and sounds incredible. I still can't get over the sound of this puppy.

Wearing it on a strap will take a bit of getting used to because of the bowl, but that's a small price to pay imo.

This is just a stock photo of it, don't have any good pics of my own yet. One day I'll get a true Ovation, but this thing will definitely work for me for now.

-Jake :P

Very cool--love the sound of a 12-string!

How about a sound sample?

And don't forget that you need a stronger capo for a 12-string. (i just buy 12-string capos anyhow, cause there's no problems using those on 6-string guitars, but the opposite seldom works well.)

An acoustic 12-string comes in handy. Old Bowie, anyone?

That's a great buy for $200,if the neck is the same profile as the Ovations that it's based on,it should be comfortable enough to play for hours.There are so many songs these days that have a 12 string guitar in them-back when I got my first 12 string (1969) the only popular song with 12 string was "As Tears Go By".

BTW: Is she acoustic-electric?

Really?

Do the words "Eight", "Miles", and "High" ring any bells?

:wink:
