Fender CJ-290SCE-12 Jumbo Acoustic-Electric Guitar, 12-String
Crisp, chiming tones and a single cutaway make this 12-string jumbo acoustic a workhorse. Add brilliant Fishman pickups, and you're ready for any gig.

I had the opportunity to play three similarly priced 12-string guitars before I ordered mine from zZounds. The Takamine (+$300), Martin (+$200) and this one, the Fender Jumbo. I had a friend listen while his back was turned. I played the same riff and chords on all three. He couldn't hear a discernible difference. I never thought I'd buy a Fender acoustic, but I did. I play out about once a month and have recorded with this guitar. The jumbo sound is awesome. One thing you must do, and I promise you'll thank yourself, have it professionally set up (around $90 for a 12-string) and you'll be absolutely amazed at the playability and action and sound. It even rivals the Martins and Taylors in the thousands. Yeah, I was pretty shocked myself. Of all the guitars I have (Martin, Taylor, Ibanez, etc), this is by far the best buy yet at only $550! My only gripe is that it comes without a case, but again, it's only $550!

I bought this guitar as a blemished mode. I have to say that I have not been able to find a blemish on it. It looks and sounds like brand new. I was very impressed with zZounds quick delivery. I would purchase more products from zZounds.

"Be ready to spend a couple hundred more"

I was really surprised to find that the intonation of this guitar was completely wrong. At the twelfth fret, the guitar was a great deal flat across all strings. I took it to my Luthier. It required that the bridge be moved to correct the intonation. This was a $200 setup. He had to remove the saddle, fill and re-route the saddle placement, lower the but and dress the frets. The reason I decided to spend the extra money fixing the guitar is that even high end Martins and Taylors require an $80 - $100 professional setup and the Fender is a good price for what you are getting. Just be ready to spend at least $100, probably more on top to get a properly intimated and playable guitar.
