I was reading an article titled THE GUILD F-512 in the November 2016 issue of Vintage Guitar magazine and it mentioned the "revival of the 12 string". Since I've got a '76 G312 on it's way to me and I already have another 12 string, I wondered if this "revival" is real and felt by others on this forum? I personally haven't noticed a revival of 12'ers in my travels, but my experiences are limited. I would like to see more 12's around and one of my reasons for buying another one is to experiment with some alternate tunings while I leave one in standard tuning so I can easily return to normal.
So, any input on this? Are 12 strings being used more now than in the recent past and are they being used more today with alternate tunings, or is it just more players with more instruments and more visability?
