My son-in-law gave me his 10 year old Fender F-310 12 string a few weeks ago! It goes nicely with my Yamaha F-310 6 banger.

I lowered the bridge a hair, and put on Martin's SP "extra light" strings! Same with the 6 string, but with "light" strings. (Lowered that bridge more, and wish I did the same amount to the 12. (Next string change). How often should that be too, for just casual use at home, then "maybe some", but nothing now, at home studio use?

My fingers now have a double groove to them! Love the sound and options it gives me. I'm a piano/keyboard player mainly, but am loving to play the guitars more and more. I have used the Yamaha in all the songs we have for which there is an acoustic used, and now want to go back to a few songs where the 12 string would sound better, and right for the parts. If I do, that means even more mixing! 139th on that one,,,,168 for that one,,,!
When do you stop?! Darn 12 srting!

NO, I love it! Playing the newer McCartney songs recently, (from Driving Rain). "Magic" sounds great with the 12!
