And from Wikipedia:

Notable performers

Performers who use acoustic 12-string guitars span a range of genres, from folk (Arlo Guthrie, Gordon Lightfoot) and traditional blues (Lead Belly) to folk rock (Paul Simon, Neil Young), country (Pinmonkey's Michael Reynolds) and rock bands (George Harrison[1] of The Beatles and Pete Townshend of The Who).[2] Some musicians, notably Leo Kottke and John Butler use it as their main instrument.

Taylor Swift also plays a 12 string guitar for the majority of her performances.

English musician James Blackshaw is also noted for his use of 12-string guitars in creating instrumental songs.

Electric Rickenbacker 12-string users include a range of jangle pop guitarists, ranging from Roger McGuinn (The Byrds) to Peter Buck (R.E.M.). The Gibson EDS-1275 electric 12-string was used by blues rock/early heavy metal guitarist Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Guns and Roses guitarist Slash, Alex Lifeson of Rush, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, System Of A Down & Scars On Broadway guitarist Daron Malakian. For a longer list, see the List of 12-string guitar players article.
