Double the strings, double the fun? Mick prepares for a new approach…

Life too short for long videos? See the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show! Mick here, hello. As you can see I recently bought a new guitar: for the first time ever I have my very own electric 12-string, so I thought I would share my first hours with it.
As you’ll hear in the video, I bought it with a specific purpose in mind, but before we get to that, let’s walk through the first plugging-in, a little bit of love for the fingerboard and a string change. All that done, I plug in to the rig and see what there is to be found.
