Lookin' for a capo and a 12 string

I dont know about their 12 string capos, but the shubb is my favorite: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/361504/

For 12 string guitars, what do you mean by affordable? If you were a millionare it could be like 4,000 bucks! I would reccomend checking out the Godin family of brands, Seagull especially.

Forgot the Godin link: http://www.godinguitars.com/

People may gripe about Ovations, but one place in which they truly excel is in the 12 string department. Simply THE best 12 string out there ( and for loads less than any Martin or somesuch).

Hey. the godin seagulls are awesome guitars, but that's definitely above my price range (16 year old: two jobs, pays own insurance, cell phone, gas, etc.). Ovations are a little less, but still up there. Under $200 is ideal (of course there might not be anything worthwhile out there for that little. that's why i need you guys...). are there any more choices?

Still lookin' for a SLIDING capo (i only need one for my six string now. but if there's one out there that will work well with both six and twelve, i may as well get it....).

thanks.

go to the music123 outlet and look there.

This is the second post recently looking for a decent quality guitar for under $200. Sorry to rain on your parade but it ain't happening. Save up for a while until you can get to the $400 to $500 range.

You will be so much happier with a decent quality guitar two months from now than you will be in two months with a piece of junk.

You can even get a Martin 12 for $549

so is a $200 epi or yamaha 12 string a piece of junk? i'm not much of a musician, so if it tunes correctly and has a decent sound, i'm happy.... but if you think i should wait for a better instrument, i'd be willing to.

thanks.

Perhaps piece of junk was too strong a phrase, but you get what you pay for.

A guitar sold for less than $200 is cutting corners somewhere. Laminate top, back and side, plastic for the nut and saddle, lack of QA, cheap tuners, etc.

You don't need to spend $10,000 on a guitar, but if you buy something with high action, bad intonation, that won't stay in tune, that doesn't sound good, that falls apart in a year, well that isn't helping matters any.

Is the sub $200 Epi 12 string a piece of junk? Well, having played one once, yes IMO it is.

Really, and I'm not saying this to be a pretentious know it all, save up a bit. It will be worth it in the not so long run.

ok. i'll save up.... i appreciate your advice.

what's your favorite sliding capo?

thx agn.
