Name That Guitar!

Hey, does anyone what guitar model is this on the left? This beaut looks kind of like a Danelectro Hodad 12 string but it looks like a more comfortable shape, has a cool scratchplate and different headstock.

Pretty cool I'm sure you'll agree!

It's a Schecter TSH-12 .

DING DING!

Well done, that man. I looked for a Danelectro like that on Google for ages with no luck. That's probably why 😡

A few years ago I was going to buy a lefty schecter 12 string; it was a bit like a Rickenbacker/Surfcaster, but it certainly wasn't this model. I believe it's been discontinued for some time now, but it had a humbucker and a single coil, and a cut in the body like a Ricky. I knew this model is more recent.

that thing is cool.

Thanks guys, good effort! Would love to have a Rickenbacker 12 in my collection, but for around

Re the one on the right -

But seriously, I would like a nice 12 string to play with too. A mate of mine got a crumby les paul copy 12str, but it has such cheap machine heads on it you can't keep it in tune for more than 10 seconds. And the headstock is so heavy that it's constantly falling away from you while you play it. Pain in the jacksy.

I really like the 6 string Dano '59 for the Sleater Kinney steez.

Yeah, I can't imagine a Les Paul 12 string would sound that nice either. Just an octavey Les Paul at the end of the day. The dc 12 and schecter are both semi-hollow which would give it them a brighter sound than a solid body. Better for a jangle! Plus the Schecter is coil-tapped.
