12 string models

[Dennisthe Menace]

Do the 12 strings with vibrato stay in tune when you use the vibrato?

I used to have one with a Moseley trem, and the answer is no. It was hard enough getting the thing in tune in the first place, let alone even looking at the trem the wrong way.

PLUS 1! I had one back in the mid 80s, not only was it hard to tune and keep it in tune, they are notorious for
breaking the octave 'G' string, problably due to the 'torturing' of that string when using the Whammy Bar.....

This 12 string without vibrato stays in tune perfectly.
there seems to be more models with vibratos around than without.

The one that is still mind boggling to me, is the one that Danny posted on the 1st page of this Thread with Glen Campbell.
It was also posted on another Thread, but..... 12 String with a VIBRAMUTE!!??!!??

Hey Danny! Where'd you get that great promo pic of Glen Campbell with the 12-string?

I love that shot! Especially his beatle boots...

I found it on the link of Mosrite photo's about page 6, by clicking on the double neck guitar in Dennis's signature line.

Those shoes were called Continental shoes back in the 60's. Continental shoes, Continental coats or Nero jackets with the little stand up preist collars, Continental narrow neck ties and Jade East Cologne were all in vogue for all musicians. The 'Continental look' developed along with the 'Ivy League' or 'Preppy look'.

But I thought that it was bazar that no one had responded to this very STRANGE photo
in which there was a VIBRAMUTE set up for a 12 string . I have NEVER SEEN
another 12 string with a VIBRAMUTE on it. If someone has besides this one photo,
PLEASE chime in .........

OK Dennis, I'll bite. What so special about a Vibramute on a '64?

12 string. I just don't recall seeing one on a 12 string.

The Mosrite Ventures XII is my favorite 12-string electric out of all 12-string electric's I've played. I've owned the Rick (the big double bound that Harrison played with the Beat-less), a Dano and Fender Strat 12. I have two Mosrite '66 V-Models, both have Mosely Vibratos. I haven't ever been brave enough to manipulate the whammy to let ya know whether it stays in tune.
