I'm on the hunt for a 12-string to eventually add to the collection. I had originally read on the Guild site that the GAD-G212 Dreadnought 12-string has a nut width of 1-11/16", which would make it fairly uncomfortable for fingerpicking.
But then I saw several posts from owners of the guitar stating that the nut width is actually 1-15/16", a width that would be just fine for finerpicking!
And after that, I saw a listing at Elderly Instruments that says the nut width on the GAD-G212 is actually 1-3/4", which would still be in the realm of fingerpicking acceptability.
Does anyone out there in Guildland actually know the REAL, no kidding, FACTUAL nut width on the GAD-G212? And maybe the string spacing at the saddle? And the rest of the Guild 12-strings?
I'm considering the Guild GAD-F212 (F40 body), Guild GAD-G212 (dreadnought), the Larrivee L-03-12, the Martin J12-15 and J12-16, and the Taylor 355 in my search for a decent fingerpicking, new 12-string under $1,000 USD. Any comments, advice, suggestions? Thanks.
