K&K makes a pickup for a 12-string. Anyone familiar with it?

You might want to spend some time at the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forums - they have a subforum devoted to 12 strings with lots of good discussion (not totally dedicated to Martins). Opinions differ on Martin 12's, particularly their dreads - you may want to do some research unless your mind is completely made up that is what you want. If so, look at the older slope shouldered D12-18 and D12-35. Frankly, if I wanted to duplicate a Martin 12 it would definitely be the new Grand J.

Before I built mine I did a lot of thinking about what I didn't like about the D12-28 and I did research a lot of other 12's. I would be happy to share those thoughts if you would like.

I would be interested in what your thoughts are on the different types of 12 strings. I think a jumbo may be in my future!
