KC, I think you just decided what the difference between the 6 and 12 strings is, 6 MORE STRINGS!!! A 12 string has a cool sound, because the strings in between the base strings are octaves, giving you a rounded sound. It is harder to start on a 12-string. It is easier to just get started on the 6. Yamaha makes a decent guitar for $200, but don't expect much out of it. Acoustics at that price are all the same, and are tough on begginers. 6 strings is what most country players use. Check some cheap resonator guitars, they are very country picking type guitars. I think the best match is, when you get into electrics, you should look at Fender Tele's. They are country electric at its finest

: THANKS FOR ANY INFO KC
