That jingle jangle thing

I got myself a new toy last weekend. Actually, "toy" is the wrong word, since it's not computer-related and will give me a lifetime of pleasure. I've wanted a 12-string guitar for more years than I care to recall, so the purchase is more than overdue. In fact I bought one ten years ago, a Washburn that was, but I was dissatisfied with its volume and returned it. This Fender, however, is fine is that regard and is aesthetically much more appealing - it looks stunning in black. In any case it has a piezo pickup, which I've already tested and sounds fabulous. I just love that rolling, singing sound a 12-string makes, what Roger McGuinn calls the "jingle jangle thing". It does mean I have very sore finger ends on my left hand though. But I can live with that :-)
