Are all the strings on the same neck? What's the standard tuning for them, are the strings double tuned? Do you play it like a normal 6 string but only strumming the bottom/top 6 strings? How do you play barre chords? What's the standard range of the notes?
Ack.

Dunno about your questions, but I would be interested to know about the tuning and stuff. Can't remember much about it since when I played one, it was soo long ago.
So if a normal guitar is tuned:
E1 A1 D2 G2 B2 e3
A twelve string is tuned:
E1 E 1 A1 A2 G2 G3 G2 G2 B2 B2 E3 E3
The number being the octave.
> How the hell do you play one of these?
:0)
Just treat the pairs of two strings as a single string and play it like a normal 6 string :0)
It takes a bit of getting used too, my dad used to have one but I found it too strange to play.
HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
i knew you guys had "extra 2 string" envy, but that's a ridiculous way of trying to even it all out ;)
the string pairs are very close together so you don't have to modify your playing style, you just kinda hit the 2nd string without noticing, whch is what makes them a "99% for rhythm parts" instrument, as i said, they're not really for lead work.
