Quite fancy one of these and it's not in the local music shop. Anyone played or own one?

Cheers.

12 string guitars need to be reasonable well made . Your pushing things a bit, cheep ones , and often second hand ones look as if the the strain is becoming a bit too much effort . Martin make good strong guitars and  are a safe bet. This one is a entry level guitar , not solid wood ,but not bad looking . A bit on the heavy side ,lacking the big Martin sound and the fisherman electrics are not the best . However , a good ,well made guitar  ,but if you have high expectations sound wise , I would try to play one first.

Yeah, sound advice. Only one guitar shop within a few hours of me and not keen on either of their 12 strings. Maybe should be patient with this to try one when on travels again or get a cheaper / lower expectation one used. Thanks.
