Well I got my Sigma DM12 1ST 12 string from Peach guitars in Colchester. Last one in stock and it's the one that appears on their product photo when I compare the grain. Very helpful on the phone and they have done a nice set up on it with new strings. I know it has new strings because their product photo shows them to be slightly tarnished. I've had guitars from a certain other site that clearly haven't bothered to check the guitar at all. So first dealings with Peach guitars but I'd recommend them.
There was just one thing about this guitar. It has an end strap button but there isn't one on the thick bit of the neck bolster where it enters the guitar. I've thought about putting one in rather than use a strap hanger round the headstock. Than I thought again. There's a lot of bending force on the neck with a 12 sting and do I really want to be putting a screw into the neck and potentially weakening it. Would this be a bad idea?

I don't know enough about 12string guitars to comment

Piece of cake to use.
You’re safe to put a strap button in the base of the neck, although it’s best to put it in the under-side rather than the back. The problem with a 12-string is it’ll be a bit of headstock heavy, so you’ll get Some neck-dive.
