I play mostly six string Acoustics. I couldn't find any 12 string under 1000 bucks that I liked. Was at the local GC there was a used AW 112 NT. 1997 for 199 Bucks. Most 12 Stringers in that price range sound like crap..and play like crap. Almost walked right passed it..but Ibanez make good stuff so I gave her a try. Wow played great sound great. Huge sound a real Cannon. It was a no Brainer. 200 bucks!!! Wow couldn't be happier.
