Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I appreciate every one of them.
This GS5-12 got its first workout this week playing with an awesome mandolin player. I play only fingerstyle when I play with him. I ALWAYS used to play just one of my 6 strings. Then, the 150e got me going with fingerstyle on a 12 string. Pulled out the GS5-12 and played several songs fingerstyle. I was extremely happy with the guitar and it sounded great. The mandolin player was impressed by the guitar. So, I think I found a 12 string that is a keeper for me. My husband loves it too.
