I really like the Dean Quilt Ash 12 string Acoustic Eectric guitar, I have played other brands and this was my choice for purchasing one to own (my other choice was a Dean Exotica Flame Maple 12 string electric acoustic) and my bandmates, friends and some fans like it as well! My only gripe is that it didn't come with a hardshell case (minor inconvenience).
