Nela I have a 70's 12er here and an 80's built one in the UK both are standard tuned and the necks are absolutely true and the action very low. Barre chord up the fretboard are no problem on either of them and neither is an expensive, well known made. In my opinion any 12er that has to be tuned down is poorly designed and made.
Yo try and clarify the confusion here. The normal 12er string configuration is that, on a down stroke, you play the thinner octave string before the normally tuned one. Rickenbacker reversed that and you play the normal low E before the octave higher one.

It was one heck of a swim but at that time of year the water was not too cold 
Well worth the effort of getting there is was great fun and Chordians are fantastic people.

Just to show what Dino explained:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She is not as easy to play as my other 12ers. The neck is narrower and deeper that I am used to also with having the heaver string first it is easy to miss playing the lighter one. The narrow neck and string position also makes finger picking difficult.
He has said he will loan it to me for a few days next week so I can familiarise myself with her.

OK I will ditch the shirt..... 
My mate Richard has just got another new baby. A 12er Ric this time and it is being left to me in his will.
Anyone know a hitman?
Roger
...but I did enquire as to how you were and I was not told that you were there!!!!
I was told that you were looking after her well though
Roger
I have only ever had italics for the chorus. i.e. {soc} before the chorus and {eoc} ant the end will give an indented and italic section.
Roger
Great to hear he is OK. I hope he joins us again soon.

Amy and Jim's hospitality is World Renowned! (even as far as Southern Portugal!)..... Home Baked Cookies, dangerous Bonfires, and Burnt Cow.
One to put on the "bucket list" for sure!
I can vouch for that. Well worth the travel from the Algarve to visit Amy, Jim, Steph and my special little pal, Katie. (Even if she does think I talk funny )

I have just received an e-mail from Bill. They have just lost their cat and are devastated over that, he made no mention of health issues but said he would be back on Chordie s soon as he can.
Roger
Are you sure that was not Dolly Parton singing?
Great song, recording and video you must be proud of this one.
Roger
Great. Sadly I will not be le to hear it on air but it is sure to get rave reviews.
Roger
I could not get them to play, in spite of leaving the page open for a while. 
I will have to look again later when I have more time.
Roger
Actually Kim you did report two posts. They were both yours .
I realised it was in error so I just I deleted the reports.
Roger
I have just checked his profile and found that although his last post was in January he was on site 25th March.

Hi Kim and welcome,
Although I am primarily a guitarist I do possess, teach and play 3 ukuleles (two baritone and one tenor). The uke is a fun instrument and I do play in a ukulele band so I am looking forward to seeing/hearing some recordings from you.
Roger
Please to hear from you Bill and Dondra. If you have seen the thread in 'Chat' you will know that you have been missed.
Roger
Fantastic drummer, I could listen to her all day.
Best looking drummer I have seen for a long time.
I think I'm in love...........................
Roger
Oh I just noticed there are two guys there also................
Looking forward to hearing what those new pups sound like.
Roger
Look what I had chance to have a little play with this afternoon:
Roger
Hi Jim,
Please send the link to the song that you have found to admin@chordie.com requesting that it be added.
Roger
A Happy Easter to everyone.
First step: Get a new guitar
Second step: Get two new hats
Third step: Set yourself a challenge
Fourth step: Allocate time daily for practice
Fifth Step: Adhere to allocated times
Sixth step: Keep your Chordie friends posted of progress
I intended 12 step but ran out of ideas and only made it half way

If you are good enough to do that then you know how to, and when to, so do not need it writing down
I do not think using C with a superscript 3.5; F with a superscript 0.5; G with a superscript 4 would work very well.
OK there are some limitations but the only way to show everything would be to write a full music score.
Roger
With my notation Superscripts are only for beats. Other chords are written C7, Csus, Cmaj7, Csus2, so I use normal script here, upper case for the chord, and lower case for the extensions and I always use bold print to be seen easier.
I started doing this years ago and so I have hundreds of songs written this way.
