Normally a 12 string is just 6 pairs of strings. The guitar can be tuned normally EADGBE (low to high) and the smaller strings of the pairs tuned an octave higher than their mate. Except the high E string which is in unison because the high "E"s are the same gauge string. Then it should play like a 6 string guitar.

Who plays a twelve string guitar?
Between none and 12 depending on how many are missing! And that's not as daft as it sounds. An unusual but not unheard-of technique is to remove the octave (usually e, a and d, sometimes also g) strings from a 12-string, leaving only the unison strings and resulting in a 9-string or 8-string guitar. This retains the chorused sound of the higher strings but removes the octave doubling of the lower strings. Another technique is known as "Nashville tuning". This can also be done on a six-string but there is no reason why it shouldn't be applied to a 12-string. It consists of using ONLY the octave and unison strings from a 12-string set, giving a 6-string with a re-entrant tuning which can be used to double a conventional rhythm part, or to produce a less bass-heavy chordal part.
