Title: 355 CE 12 string.
Post by: trrankin on March 14, 2013, 05:58:36 PM

Hi..I have an 355 CE 12 string guitar. Just wondering if I can play this guitar with 6 strings just to have a different sound. My main concern is it going to hurt the neck or the guitar in any way.
Thanks
Troy

It will not hurt the neck but you may have to do a little adjustment on the truss rod because of less tension.
I have done this on other brand 12's before and had no issues except sometimes the empty tuners would rattle a little
at times.

Ok ..I just wanted to see what sound the 355 has with six strings.
Thanks
