My son has turned into a very good guitarist. He plays only acoustic, and his main guitar is a Taylor 210CE (which I had to buy him to get his grubby mitts of my 814CE).

The other night at a friend's house, he had his first 12-string experience, with a 40-yo Takamaine. Seeing the look on his face as he laid into the first few chords was one of the best experiences of my life.

I had a 12 string when I was his age, and, as guitar players know, they are pretty specialized and limiting, and often end up gathering dust (mine did). That said, I'd love to get him one, but want something fairly reasonable--less than $1000. That rules out Taylors, etc. I'm wondering if anyone has a relatively low-cost rig they are happy with?

thanks
