Tell me about it man, **** power/speed metal! So ya like to keep it pretty much classical?
And, probably... I mean, my preferred genres, like metalcore, require melody and good breakdowns, pretty sure a 12 string can't offer that.
Heh, saying something like that shows that you are a skilled guitarist. Like I've mentioned, I sort of fell into metal, but I never want to hang out in the higher octaves of the fretboard moving my fingers so fast that they could break a hole in the wall.
