Here's that nice Marlen I got from K Maul. Love it.

A 12 string!
You're gonna need more pedals and levers. (not)
Does a universal pull release exist?
Be happy with your guitar.
The tone and the string spacing make it unique.

Iâ€™m very happy that youâ€™re pleased with it! Itâ€™s even given me a little Sellerâ€™s Remorse, but I can live with that knowing that you are getting a lot out of it. Carry on!

I love it! Tone is incredible and plays really smoothly.

I played a 6/9 tuning on 8 strings for a long time so it's nice to have the chromatic strings and more knee levers. I'd love a universal at some point but for now the extended e9 is more than enough for me.

A forum member I know has a Marlen. The space between strings is greater than most pedal steels. He is an accomplished guitar player and appreciates that as it's more guitar like. He has a double 10.
Maybe a single 12 has the strings closer together?
Andrew, if you get a moment measure the distance from string 1 to 12.
My Infinity 12 string universal measures 3.625" down near the pickup. Divided by 11 spaces ~ 0.33" between adjacent strings.
