Stuff That Sounds Good: 12 string Ibanez

We like stuff that sounds good, things than make us sound good. Instruments and gear are very personal and to some you form relationships over time. You fall in love, you break up. They irritate or surprise you. Are cooperative or just refuse to do what you want.

So we though to we’d present some of them to you.
And don’t believe those who say that things are not alive. These things are. We promise!

This is my 12 string Ibanez. Bought sometime in the mid 80’s it’s actually the oldest instrument I still got. I’ve bought and sold a few over the years but this one has stayed. No wonder really, it sounds very good with a well collected and even sound and it’s got very easy action for being a 12-string. And getting better with age. Still a effort to tune, but it’s a 12 string isn’t it? What would you expect?
Not used that much on recordings anymore. Don’t know why really, perhaps because it doesn’t work in our current sound. But it can be heard on the second and third chorus of Come Together.
