Location: South of most, North of few		I picked up this Alvarez 12 string on Craigslist local and was so impressed with the sound that I found a 6 string new on line to match it. Englemann spruce top, maple back and sides, jumbo body. Nice sound and very playable. :D

The 12 was made in Korea, and the 6 was made in China. Nice workmanship non the less. I never really liked a maple guitar till I tried the 12. Nice deep sound from the big body, yet bright from the maple.

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066		First 12 stringer I had was a Guild Maple body. Great sounding guitar that my buddy still has to this day.

I think maple bodies and 12's are just a nice match.

Location: South of most, North of few		Stephen, that's funny you should mention a Guild. That's exactly what this 12 reminded me of when I picked it up. Very similar sound.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		I love natural quitled maple backs and have a couple of nice models myself, including a USA Starfire IV. Its unfortunate that these beautiful finishes remain out of view most of the time.
