Looking for an inexpensive (read: cheap) 12-string, I came across the Walden D552, which I can get for about $350 AU. Walden got a positive review in "Acoustic Guitar" magazine, but they are very difficult to track down in Oz. I can buy one by mail order, but I can't quite bring myself to front up the hard-earned without ever having even seen one in the flesh, never mind picked it up and played it. does anyone have any experience with these, or ideas for something in the same price range?
