Takamine are great! Personally I'd go for a non-cutaway but if you think you're going to make good use of it then go for it (to be fair my Taylor 12-string is a cutaway and I use the extra access all the time for John Butler type antics...)!
Guild, Gretsch and D'Angelico have guitars in the same price range worth a look too.

I have a lovely 80s norman B20, I'm pretty sure it's solid throughout and i read somewhere that the old ones were so highly regarded that Jimmy Page owned one but that could be bullshit
They don't cost a lot so i'd recommend checking out gumtree or Ebay, or i could sell you mine and bring it down to london next time i'm that way. The nice thing is the satin finish on the wood throughout

I'm thinking of getting me a nice 12-string acoustic for general sofa playing (/beautiful wall ornament.) Any reason to look beyond a Takamine GJ72CE-12? Gets good reviews, I think it looks fantastic and the all-important cutaway to access the 17th fret (Genesis, "Cinema Show" intro!)
