I LOVE the 12 year boxes. They have such a unique sound due to the really thin top ply layer. I have built three with the 12 year. I do mostly 4 strings. I can get three types of sounds out of it acoustically all in the same build. Playing low on the neck sound kind of guitar/banjo-ish, middle of the neck sounds more banjo/mandolin and higher up near the 12th fret it sounds like a uke. Overall great box for acoustic sound and tones.
I recently acquired one of those 12 year boxes...gonna use it in a build soon...it is shaped differently from the 7 and 10 year boxes (longer)......was wondering how does the sound compare to them in your opinion??/..thanks John
