Wow, all these 12-string Taylors changing hands lately! Congratulations, Susie! That's a nice Custom GS-12! You don't see many with a Cedar top, though; I've been told (though I'm admittedly skeptical about it) that Taylor is, for lack of a better term, disinclined to build 12-strings with a Cedar top because it's not as suitable as Spruce for dealing with the extra string tension.
I'm starting to think that I'm the only one on the forum who likes a 'jangly-sounding' 12-string; everybody else seems to want one that favors the 'warm' end. It's getting lonely out in Trebleland...
Still, I'd be curious to hear one with a Cedar top; about the closest I've tried is one with a 'Sinker' Redwood top.
