Dear all,
I had my 12 string acoustic stolen. It was a 1980 Daion Mugen and was
beautiful.

Unfortunately, I am a bit stuck as to what to look for now. The Tanglewoods
and Takamines look nice, the Taylors look like heaven.

I am a heavy strummer and a heavy finger-picker on folk/appalachian/country
style music. I ma used to good bass with nice jangly trebles.

Any advice as to what I should get for under £500?

Many thanks in advance.

Jim (praying for Santa to come!)
