It's an EG535SSC (Made in Korea) and I swopped my EF340SC (Made in China)ajdebeer wrote: very nice

plus hard case for it.
A slight turn on the truss has all but eliminated the bow. Almost 3mm less on the saddle.
I fitted custom light (0.11 - 0.52) coated strings plus (0.9 - 0.26 - uncoated) on the octaves.
A little stiff at standard tuning but the octaves don't sound good with the capo if you detune a semitone.
I believe the capo's spring aint strong enough.
I now have it at standard tuning and will just have to learn to press harder. ?

One of the things I noticed about my Nippon Gakki 12 string is that it has narrow low frets, which strangely enough makes it easier to fret - the thing is that you cannot press down too hard like with regular frets.DaFiz wrote: will just have to learn to press harder. ?

12 days later
Not standard tuning... I went down a whole step and then back up a semitone...
No buzzing, great action... Over critical ears must get used to octaves sounding a tad out in some places.
Have spent a while playing this guitar and have to get my act together to play at the Thursty Turtle next Sunday afternoon. 8)

b) one of the reasons i love hearing a 12-string being played
in short, i can't play a 12-string as i am always looking for the note/s that's out. but that little extra jangly sound created by the slight dissonance between octave strings and their standard counterparts... heaven. i love it.
congrats on the acquisition, and enjoy to the max
