    socojoma and tanker5207, thanks!

    tanker5207, if you are thinking about a JM3000, you might want to consider the unidirectional top, and possibly the unidirectional body. It's my understanding that it makes for a warmer tone, which would be a good thing on a 12-string.

    Thanks for the kind words. It's probably not how Jimmy Buffett plays it, but it seems to capture the feel of the song with only one guitar.

    Other than the JM3000 12-string, I don't have much experience with RainSong. I really like my CA Vintage Performer (same as vintage Legacy). It is (IMO) the CF guitar that sounds most like traditional wood guitars. Peavey hasn't added the Legacy models to the CA lineup yet, but will at some point...

I sent an e-mail to Shadow. Their reply indicated these should be available around the end of June.
