just saw this:

https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Dreadnought-12-String-Acoustic-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Black/1OZJ

does anyone either have one, or played one? or anything amusing to say on the subject?

I used to have "access" to a 12 string and this seems like a cheap way to scratch an itch.

you are totally allowed to put me off - I should be saving money really!

thanks O mighty hive mind,

Steve

I was going to say the action will be shocking and difficult to right, the tuners will be hopeless and so tuning it would be like a paitingi the Forth bridge job but .... £65??? Might as well buy it and tell me how horrible it is.

Not yours, but worth a look.

machine heads are always the worst thing about cheap guitars, replace them, fix the action and you can live with the sound of a substandard guitar, least it plays ok and stays in tune.

Having 12 shit machine heads, hmmm...

hardware on kits can be just as bad

have you had a look on Thomann ? their own brand stuff is apparently QA'd before delivery so may be better than some of the random cheap stuff
