Yep, I have an acoustic Fender 12 string from about 1985.

It is great, though does have a tendency to sound too bright if you use bronze strings. Im sing Ernie Ball Earth wounds (phosphorbronze) at the mo and it sounds great.

I think considering the abuse this guitar has had i.e. being drunkenly dragged through hedges en route to camp fires etc, it is doing very well.

Also playing a 12 string will do wonders for your sense of pitch as tuning it can be ..... interesting !!

I am planning some lessons based round the old 12 string in the not too distant future, so watch this space !
