Yeah, I had never heard of them either, until my friend decided to sell off most of his guitars.  I ended up buying a Danelectro Hodad 12-string from him-awesome sound and playability.  I don't think they make the 12 strings anymore.  The one I have is of great build quality, made in Korea, with sweet lipstick pickups.  Good brand

Do tabs for this song exist?

Basing it solely on my love for sweet guitar playing, Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover tops my list.  Basing it everything, not just guitar, I'd have to say No More Lonely Nights by Paul McCartney.  One more, not just because it's on Guitar Hero, Through The Fire and Flames.

Wow, that would be great.  However, I don't want to buy stuff for the guitar when I don't have it yet-I'm making a couple payments on it, but I should have it by the middle of next month.  I don't really want to buy stuff for the guitar when I don't have it yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll take you up on the offer.  Just don't bother making one quite yet-I'll let you know when I want to get it, and we can work out the buying info then.  Thanks a lot

You're right, that's why so many great guitarists chose models like Strats, Teles, LP's, and SG's.  But when people see their idols playing these guitars, they want them too.

And how much would that run?

Just curous, is the lowest string on a 7-sting a low B?

Edit-never mind, I didn't read all of the topic.  It is a low B.

Actually, you sound exactly like me.  I've played guitar for a year (on an acoustic), and I've been told that I learned a lot faster than most people, as I can play many differnt riffsf, songs, and a few solos. I was considering playing a solo (I'm not really a singer) for my school's talent show last December, but I didn't think I could play it good enough (like you, lack of self-confidence), so I didn't sign up.  Needless to say, the show was canceled due to lack of interest, as hardly anyone signed up.  I've decided that if I get an opportunity to play for people again, I'm jumping on it.  I'm going to try to start playing with others, too.  So don't be like me-take an opportunity if you get it.  Good luck!

You know, for $50 I can't complain at all about my 6-string Rogue. . .they also make a $100 12-string. . .but maybe you're looking for something better.

Is it possible to find something for say, $25 or less? I'm not looking to spend a whole lot of money on a pickguard, if I can't find one, oh well.  Even if something custom can't be made that cheap, is it possible to fit one of those Les Paul pickguards on? They look like they would fit on almost anything.

I agree, McCartney is my favorite in terms of his solo work.  What I think made the Beatles such a great band is the diversity of their music.  You can't compare a song like Love Me Do with Revolution, or Yesterday with Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds-they're all great songs in their own right.  The originality of their melodies and lyrics also are a huge part of why the group was so great.  They were real pioneers when in came to music, in many genres.  Also, Lennon and McCartney each went on to have good solo careers, and Harrison did some good solo stuff too.  Definately one of, if not the greatest band of all time.

Never mind, I figured it out.  Easy adjustment, just a few screws on the back of the guitar lowered the pickups.  Actually, it tightened them.  They were quite loose before, and they were hitting the strings on the 20 and 21st frets.  Anyway, I have the guitar at my home with me.  He's letting me try it for a few days.  I tried out the little "amp in a bag" that came with the case-surprisingly loud for a 3 inch speaker, also has overdrive and a headphone jack.  I also am trying the 30-watt Crate.  I love the Crate-lots of features, but not so many where it becomes confusing.  Has 3 channels, clean, drive, and chorus.  I really don't need 30 watts, but who cares? Unlike most people, I actually like the sound of the guitar overdriven rather than clean.  It really gives a much more full sound than a 6-string.  The body is a lttile different, Strat-like, but angled slightly.  It has the best high-fret access of any guitar I've played.  Also, the 7-way pickup switching is a great feature.
Am I buying it? Well, I'm letting him know for sure yes or no tommorow.  I really don't think I'm going to find a better deal.  The guitar, gig bag, mini amp, cable, and Crate amp all for $300.  Besides, I really love the guitar.  I was a little unsure about having a 12-string as my main electric, but it does everything a 6-string does, and more.  Soloing, as I found, is actually easier with 12 strings (and no, I am not very proficient at soloing).  My little review here probably sounds like a load of bull-not everything can be that good, can it? I'll admit, the guitar has it's flaws-I'm not crazy about the looks, it only has 21 frets, no tremolo system, there are some songs were the 12-string doesn't sound as good as a 6, tuning takes a while, and changing strings won't be fun.  Despite this, I find that my personal preference is the 12-string, for the feel, playability, and sound.  I'll let you guys know if I buy it.  Again, thanks for all the helpful reviews and info on Dano guitars.
