anyone know anything about 12 string acoustics?

Post by zim »

just got one and i love it, etc but the action feels way too high, it was super painful to play

i feel like i should probably take this to a professional to get the action lowered rather than doing it myself. any thoughts?

Awesome guitar! I've played one before for quite some time, also recorded with it and played great.

If you want to lower the action, I advise to take it to a pro luthier.

yeah definitely gonna look for a pro. i'm kind of upset at how difficult this thing is to play. i'm not sure if i'm a wuss or not but it really hurts. hopefully an action adjustment makes it nicer.
