If you like the sound of buzzing, I suppose it's OK, but most people don't like that sound. Maybe try a lighter string gauge. If you're playing a Flamenco guitar, the buzzing sound is alright, but that blends in. I'm not sure how that would be on a steel string guitar. That's my personal opinion. Check with other people, especially a luthier that can set up your guitar with the lowest possible clearance.

Larrivée Model L-03-12R Acoustic 12 String Guitar Description

This acoustic 12 string guitar was made in Canada in 2003. This is a solid wood guitar featuring a maple bound solid Sitka spruce top, solid rosewood back & sides, a mahogany neck and a maple bound ebony fingerboard. The 25.5” scale length neck joins the body at the 14th fret giving a comfortable amount of play room:16" Wide (lower Bout) and 41" in Length

The neck profile is thinner than you may expect and the guitar plays incredibly fast for a 12-string with low action and very easy playability on a smooth ebony fingerboard with maple binding. The X-scalloped bracing helps project and resonates beautifully. The head stock overlay and bridge are both made of ebony with a Larrivée logo inlayed on the headstock and dot inlays on the ebony fingerboard.

This is one of the best playing 12 string acoustic guitars that I have ever played. It looks, sounds and feels fantastic and comes with the original Larrivée hard shell case. This is a fantastic player’s guitar that is setup perfectly and ready to make some great music!

It was suggested that I post a 1994 Mortoro Jazz Guitar I received from Gary in 1994, made for me.

MOROTOR GUITAR – VOLO LIBERO

Mortoro Guitar Free Flight “Volo Libero:, Hollow Body electric Jazz guitar Built in 1994 by Gary Mortoro. I used to live less than a mile away from him in Miami.

41” Length 15.5” wide 2.25” thick with a single Benedetto Pickup

Golden Maple Body and maple neck. Carved ebony inlaid finger board. Solid ebony carved finger board and ebony tail piece. The fingerboard is very precise and inlaid with mother of pearl.

Built in 1994 serial no. 0294. This guitar was built for me as a gift from Gary who was a personal friend. He built it in the very traditional arch top jazz style. Pictures and more description below, but me phone nbr is 904-520-8217

This guitar sounds warm and mellow even when played without an amp. I can send you a file with the guitar plugged in through my amplifier or unamplified. Even with it being played with no amplifier, it has a sweet sound.

Gary built this guitar for me in 1994 it is a custom hand made guitar by Guitar maker from Miam. Gary Mortoro was a student of Bob Benedetto. He has made guitars for the following great guitarists: Gene Bertonucci, Tony Mottola, Bucky Pizzarelli, Jimmy Vivino, Rodney Jones, George Benson and Jimmy Buffet. (I actually played a few chords on it right before he shipped it to Jimmy). Rodney Jones said, "There is no finer Archtop available, simply put Gary's guitars are the D'Angelicos of the future".

My guitar has a very pronounced acoustic value, when played either in electric or acoustic. This guitar is in pristine condition no scratches, belt rashes, it does not have any dings. I’ve kept the guitar in it’s case, with no play wear. Comes with a hard case. There have never been any repairs there are no cracks , no checking or chips on this guitar. This is in excellent condition virtually in the same condition as when I received it from him. Pictures:
