Electric 12 strings?
Anyone have one?
I bit the bullet and picked up a Dipinto Mach XII. I'm very happy with my choice. The leading runner ups were a Fender start and the Boca that MF sells. http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbas...6/8/549568.jpg |

That's pretty wild looking. How does she play?

That's boss. A friend of mine has a 60's style band and he plays a DiPinto. He has some really expensive old Gretsches but won't gig them. Lemme see if I can find a pic of the one he has, I just saw them a couple weeks ago and he probably has pics on Facebook.

Re: Electric 12 strings?
It plays great. When I first took it out of the shipping box, the action was really (too) low. The high E was actually touching the first fret. I was sort of bummed/upset that it was so bad and let it sit for two days. Thought I might need some nut work (on a 12 string----yikes). When I picked it up again it was perfect. Weird. And, yes, I did let it sit inside in the unopened packing box for about 8-10 hours. Maybe that wasn't enough or maybe it just had to adjust to the humidity.
Anyhow, the action is great. Intonation is great, and I like the 24.75" scale. It holds it's tuning very well. The pickups are very articulate and the doubled single coil can be split by a push/pull that comes standard but wasn't mentioned in the specs. I did buy it new, but already forget the exact price. I used some MF % off deal that brought the price way down. $480 I think. I wish I could find a hard case for it though. The thing is so darn long it won't fit in any case I've tried. |

Try a bass case.
You may need to put a couple towels in the bottom section, but it'll be long enough for sure. |
Re: Electric 12 strings?
That's not a bad idea at all. Thanks for the tip.
Even the "extra long" elect guitar case I tried was too short. Quote:
