My fingers hurt!

And no not from playing guitar for hours on end...:-) but from restringing the 12 string! Blasted thing took almost 2 hours to restring! the new bright tone of the strings (SIT) was well worth it though...:-)

oh, when i read the topic it looked a little wiered

Ezzz...And I thought restinging my 6 was a b****.  Hmp, and I'm going to buy one.  Once I have it, probably just going to buy new strings.

Man, imagine restringing a double!

 I have had several 12 strings over the years and yes they do suck to change the strings on, and then to get the strings streched properly and back into tune can be a nightmare. They sure do sound nice when you're done though.
 The only 12 string I have left is an Ovation medium bowl roundback electric/acoustic, it's just like my purple 6 string Ovation which is also Electric/acoustic with a shallow bowl, except the 12 is a natural finish, I also have another Ovation 6 string that is acoustic only with a light bluish green finish with a deep bowl.
 I really love the sound of a roundback for some reason, other than that I have a classical/spanish acoustic guitar with nylon strings and a real fat neck.
 I think I've gotten rid of all the other acoustics I have owned, either by selling them, loaning them out and forgetting who has them, or sometimes they just come up missing and I'm not sure what happened to them.

Hey! It's now 3 days later, and the tonal quality was definately worth the effort of changing the strings! With the thanksgiving holiday tomorrow I MIGHT have time to restring the other five guitars!  ;D (only six strings on the rest of them...)

Well, I thought that was going to be about something else!  ;D

Here's a quick shot of the infamous 12 string that started this whole post...:-) It's my avorite guitar and has the tonal quality that most people dream of having...:-)
