I have tried a dozen different acoustic 12s with no luck, seagull, Alvarez, Taylor 150, martin’s cheap one. Always had issues with either the belly lifting or the neck warping.
The only acoustic 12 I’ve played that could hold full tension was an ovation, a real one, belonged to a friend, but it only sounded good plugged in.
I have two electric twelve strings, both made by OLP. They were mid 2000s Asian MusicMan copies. One is a 6/12 doubleneck and the other is a single neck Axis / EVH body with a 12 string neck and bridge. A limited run. Both hold full tuning. I refuse to downtune, but I do play 8’s on my 12-strings, where I play 10s on my three US PRS and 9s on my strat.
I’ve wanted a PRS electric 12, but I want to make sure it will hold standard tuning, with my standard 2mm at the 12th fret setup.
