Maurice Anderson and Jeff Newman are the two big names I think of when it comes to the Universal tuning. what about current players? I'm drawing a blank.
and how about D-12 players while we're at it... I can only think of Buddy Cage.

Good question, Scott. I sometimes wonder whether "serious" players regard the uni as a bit of a gimmick with no real virtues. I look forward to being proved wrong 
Maybe in the commercial world you need the physical presence of two necks to impress the ignorant.

how could I forget Joe? love that guy. I didn't realize Junior was a Uni player and I thought Eddie Long had his own tuning, kind of like Robert Randolph (who I think plays a 13 string?)
I know Buddy Emmons and I believe Hal Rugg (among others) experimented with 12-string and Universal tunings too

But God help you if you actually play it!

Talk about Killer Players! and really nice people too.
Joe fooled me the first time I saw him at the PSGA show, he wasn't doing his Theawfulest routine but he dressed like he just came off the farm, and I had never seen a guitar like his, I thought he probably built it. But when he started playing it was like nothing I have ever heard. A great entertainer. |

I believe Bobby Black played a D-12 for awhile.

I recently went from a SD-12 to a D-12 9x7 Williams and love it. So much more fun!

I believe that Susan Alcon fits in this post quite nicely.
