I took the plunge on a Danelectro Hodad 12. Always thought the Mosrite shape was cool, and they get good reviews on Harmony-Central. For 200 bucks used, I didn't think I'd get hurt too bad. I'll report in full when it arrives.

Noel:

I've been considering the Phantom Teardrop, but wondered how easy it was to play when sitting?

I have two Ric 12's, but I'm wanting to find a relatively inexpensive electric 12 string to take on the road when I'm with my son at his baseball tournaments. Any recommendations?

Two or one under each screw?

Funny, a friend of mine who is a dealer in Canada told me about Garrison just last week...I'm going to have to check them out.

Well, it's a 660-12, so no worry with a sound hole!

I've come to the conclusion that I now need a 12 string acoustic to bang around on...I don't want to spend big bucks on something that I'll use mostly on the front porch. Any recommendations?

Forgive me for sounding stupid...but I've never switched them out before...how much hassle is it, do the toaster tops come flying apart when you take them off?

Thanks, Peter. I'll probably leave the foam pads alone. I prefer the look of the rubber grommets, also, but I don't know if it's worth switching.

Anyone have any idea why Rick used foam rubber pads under the toasters as opposed to rubber mounting grommets? Has anyone converted their 660-12 to rubber grommets?
