It's hard to find good sounding ones. I pretty much only like Rickenbackers and Electric XIIs.
John Anderson
because few people can into 12 string electrics and not make it sound like ass.

Explain yourselves, zoomers. Why aren't you topping the charts with this fine young instrument?
Dylan Lopez
six strings are enough

What's the point of a 12 string? Does it make a richer sound or something?
Ayden Sanchez
Built in chorus pedal, also different feel
Owen Hill
Yes. But I'd probably take 12 over the 7 and 8 string nu-metal or djent silliness.

If i had tons of money I'd buy a couple 12 strings and keep them in weird tunings. imagine the harmonic richness of like dadgad or even like e1e1e2e2e3e3 and droning and sliding all over the place

I was in a noise rock/ noise improv/ gaze band and played acoustic 12 string with a Seymore Duncan acoustic pickup through a big pedal board. I gigged like that for a while and planned to get an electric but the price difference between chinese novelty shit and a decent gigging 12 string electric, combined with the nonexistent re-sell market, kept me from buying one before our band dissolved to reform and play tight hardcore punk where I'm just singing. So there's one anecdotal answer to op's question except I guess I didn't really talk about albums.

the doubled strings are an octave up so it sounds jangly af
