Hi John (and Buddy too ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif) ) This is all good advise concerning 12 strings.......The only make I know of that you can confidently keep tuned up is the Richenbacher models...something to do with the design of the truss rod.....keeping your guit in D will extend the life of your guitar tremendously....I also use the lightest gauge strings that I can find for my Epiphone as you do...you can mix and match gauges if you feel a particular string is "tinny" sounding....could get expensive though...ya know? ......My Epi is 30 years old and still plays nice.....ya just gotta be aware....I have tuned it up on occasion to record.....did not seem to hurt it none....back to D though before it goes into the case....always... Take good care my friend, Joe (aka joro ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/wink.gif) )
