My local music store has a new LX 12 string and a Kaman Bar 12 string on the rack. Both are single hole models. Without getting into better/worse let's just say that there is a definate difference.

Did you compare the same model to itself (i.e. LX Legend 12 string to non LX legend 12 string)?

I haven't been able to come across an LX 12 string anywhere yet. Without getting into better/worse...did you like the LX model?

Thanks for your input.

Yep...Legend LX and non-LX. If I was buying one it would be the LX. But I could see someone preffering the old K-bar model. But the point is that there was a difference.

Without getting too personal, what differences did you hear, feel or notice?

The most obvious difference was volume. The LX was louder.
The LX was much lighter in weight (as expected).
I judged the strings to be of equal quality. As far as tone and balance...I did not hear a big difference. But afterall...they are both quality, single hole Ovation 12 strings.
