Will emedia Guitar method be instructive for a 12-string guitar?

Only if you play the 12-string as a 6-string guitar. But since they sound so different from each other, I would suggest learning with a 6-string guitar and then moving to a 12-string after you finish the course.

Yes, but not a great deal harder. You may need some practice to get to get to a skill level to repair a guitar.

It will help but you have to learn a little about tuning a guitar. Someone has to show you. It's a good tuner. Great for the Money. I have about 6 and just keep them on the guitars

Wyatt, You do not have to put the guitar together, but you will have to set it up i.e. string height, action, pickup height, intonation and pitch (which should take you no more than 20 min.) and depending on your playing preference you may want a different type or gauge of strings. This is a beautiful guitar; I have received many compliments on mine. The gold is metal flake and the sides and back are deep burgundy (like wine) with abalone inserts on the rosewood fretboard.

I believe that it is possible, and any good and reputable guitar shop can handle this task for you easily. As for 'tuning', I'm guessing that you're looking for someone to tune your guitar for you. Don't pay anyone for this - here at Amazon, look for a small device called a 'Snark.' It is a guitar tuner that simply clips onto the head of the guitar, you turn it on, and start plucking the low, or 'E' string while watching the Snark. As you approach the correct tuning, the 'E' will start to show on the face of the Snark. When the little digital 'dial' aligns itself in the top center of the screen, then you are in tune for that string. A Snark will cost you less than $20.00, and allow you to tune the strings from the bottom to top to E,A,D,G,B, and D. Hope this helps.

I would personally use 11 starting on e first string. Which would be about a medium. 12's are ok but if you barr chord orbend notes they're kind of heavy. Hope this helps.

It comes with instructions but if you are the least bit unsure about doing it yourself, hire a guitar-tech do it for you. I don't think that it's an expensive proposition.

If you enter the traveler guitar website there is a video which shows you how to change the strings. I didn't change my strings yet but it doesn't seen to take very long and the manual recomends which string to use if I'm not wrong.

Yuppers it can. I made mine fretless and put on nylon strings. I got the sound I was lookin for. Good luck with yours. My email addy is "guulaans@gmail.com let me know how you made out.

Yes you can , I did not but I know it can be done. Kinda expensive though unless you do it yourself. By the way I love this guitar , the fretboard is really nice and the guitar has a really low growl to it.The neck is nice an thick. On the flip side - hard to get higher octaves out of it cleanly , it seems geared for really heavy music. Hope that helps a bit.

Yes, I would check the instructions for recommendations on distance so you don't "overwhelm" the tuner. I've used it on both types of guitars without a problem.

I've only used it when changing strings to clean and condition the fretboard. I would assume not though.

Yes, but you should use lighter gauge acoustic strings, and you'll have to cut more end off after you wind them since this guitar has only 15 frets (fewer than full-sized guitars). The Martin strings that came on mine were very good, so you probably won't have to do this for a while - and if you don't want to do it yourself, places like Guitar Center will do it for something like $10 or $15 (plus the cost of the strings). (15 frets are more than enough, by the way, 99% of the time for the songs you're likely to want to play on it.)

yup, good for anyone, three things 1) tune it - there are online tuners, smartphone apps, or handheld tuners. but keep it in tune. 2) use you tube for lessons and chords and how to play songs 3) (most importantly) NEVER PUT IT DOWN. practice practice practice. i have been playing for over 25 years and i always have a guitar in my hands even if it's laying on the floor watching TV. good luck have fun, guitars and music has brought great joy into my life.

I am left-handed, but I learned to play standard guitar. If you only want to invert strings, that won't be too difficult, and I guess that you could live with controls on the underside. Inverting the frame is another story, however. The lower part is quite a bit thinner than the upper one, which is already too thin in my opinion. It may be cutting into your arm more than you like.
