Danny,
I'm unfamiliar with a Kimbara, but any 12 string that's not set up well can be unbearable. Why does it keep breaking strings? I use light guage silk and steel on the Guild and it sounds great. Maybe you should give them a try. Here's my two main guitars, the ones I use when I'm playing with other folks. The J-200 just can't be beat. Zimmy loves the Martin sound as do lots of others, but to me the sound of a jumbo Gibson is about as mellow as you can get. True, it does lack some of the treble punch, but overall its SWEET. The J-50 is my workhorse and although it lacks the volume of the 200 its neck is the best fit I have ever come across.
