My background in fingerpicking is mostly classical, I have about half a degree in classical guitar performance. I've played 12 string for 45 years, and until I got my 512, I never felt comfortable unless I used picks. With the 512, fingers are okay. I also agree with what you said about it as a flatpicking guitar. This is a Guild 12-string guitar to rival any that they've ever made, and most acoustic players will admit that Guilds are the 12s to which all others are compared.devellis said:I haven't gotten comfortable enough fingerpicking the 12 to evaluate it fairly but I think it'll do well once I'm up to the task.
