Summary

What if I told you my favorite acoustic 12-string guitar was less than $300? This episode will cover my top 10 favorite acoustic 12-string guitars. From the high-end to the low-end, you'll get a wide variety of takes on 10 guitars. 12-string guitars are known for their full, rich sound. It gives a natural chorus sound to an acoustic guitar. They can be a little difficult to play. Sometimes they're even harder to tune. But I promise, it's well worth your time. The 12-string guitars that made my top 10 list are judged on value, tone, and beauty. They're all great guitars — especially the cheapest one. But for those who are loyal to Taylor Guitars, you'll be happy to know there are two Taylors on my list! Featured in this episode… Charlie Parr National Guitars Orangewood Guitars Taylor Guitars Fender Martin Guitar Guild Guitars Seagull Guitars Larrivee Yamaha Guitars

0:35.6	The first lesson is about comparison thinking, and this story
0:39.3	actually has a very interesting twist involving a famous guitar player, and the second lesson is
0:45.5	about the dabbler roller coaster. You'll get all the details here in just a bit. Plus, you're
0:50.8	going to see which guitar lick the TAC family is working on today, and it's an
0:55.1	ode to taxes. Yes, this guitar lick is named Tax Deduction Scavenger Hunt. A fun little
1:01.7	journey all of us go on around tax season. And then, of course, your weekly dose of acoustic
1:06.7	news awaits, which includes the rock bottom of resonator guitars, and this is actually a double

1:45.9	getting one quite early on in my acoustic guitar journey. Now, the common myth is that 12-string
