Just watching the Rolling Stones (a popular British Rhythm combo) playing in Hollywood in 2015 (Yup, I've got an old TV). A young chap called Kieth Richards playing his OM3!
Uhoh! Now he playing a Martin D12-20!

Re: Any other 12 fret freaks out there?
My sentiments exactly Andy, I also find Collings necks extremely comfortable to play, lovely shape & feel & fret board radius is perfect too. Would love to get hold of an 00 version to try one day. Hi, I agree with all of that, although I have observed that the neck profiles have become thi...

Re: Any other 12 fret freaks out there?
One here, DS2H bought new in earls 2000 also from the Acoustic Centre in Brum. Superb guitar in every way & now the only dreadnought I can play comfortably due to a neck &shoulder problem. Hi Driver8, good to know you. Yes there is a subtle but definite ergonomic advantage to the 12 fret dr...

Re: All my Collings guitars are acting up!
Hi Frank, thanks for your input. None of the variables that you mention apply here, Standard tunings, Ej17s on dreads, EJ16s on 000 and Waterloo. I have my own (Larrivee) truss rod adjuster, and make my own adjustments from time to time and id so on my Waterloo and my later DS2h, although I tend to ...

All my Collings guitars are acting up!
I've been having problems with my '98 DS2h and my '03 0002h for some time. Had them set up, adjusted, even had the dread refretted (again!) Still horrible buzzing - mostly between 4th and 8th frets. Had them "pleked" over Christmans but problems still. Spent a few hours with the only offic...

Re: Any other 12 fret freaks out there?
I have to play "Turn Turn Turn" at a funeral/memorial in April...feel free to loan me any 12 string of your choice and I may become a freak as well! 8-) Well, I was asking about interest in 12 FRET to body guitars, but I do have a Martin and a Harmony 12 string: https://youtu.be/X-mZOc1FG...

Re: Any other 12 fret freaks out there?
So you have some company here Andy, I’ll comment. I own 10 guitars and 2 of them are 12-fret models, a 000 and a 00. I’m happy to have them and find they add nicely. I don’t have the fat necks you seem to prefer. Mine both have a 1-3/4 & 2-5/16 conformation. I find they are especially nice for ...
