Sound: Sound when plugged in is great, stand alone is good too. I bought bone pins for the saddle and it really brought out the "highs" wonderfully. I also replaced the Plastic bridge and replaced it with a piece of ivory I had fitted. I guess I did more to it than original out of the box but brand new it was really great for the price too. Feature: Don't remember any accessories. The electric pickup is really nice. Ease of Use: I play weekly and change the strings every 6 months. I use LIGHT's and really enjoy the comfort and sound. 12 strings do have a wider neck but that is way they are. My hands are not big and I have no problems playing. I pick many songs too. Quality: Everything about the finish and color are beautiful. All the varnish has held up really well for the last 5 yrs. As noted above, I changed the bridge and pins from plastic to bone. I keep it in a hard shell case. Value: Outstanding value Manufacturer Support: not applic. The Wow Factor: If mine ever has a terrible accident I would buy one again. Overall: I am sure I will be enjoying this guitar for another 5 yrs.

Sound: For the price this guitar is as good as it gets. The pickup is decent and the overall sound is pretty good. Much like other 12-strings it can at times be difficult to keep in tune, yet overall it represents a simple and solid instrument. Feature: The pick-up is decent...there is nothing fancy, just low, mid, and high eq. coupled with a plug in which is adequate for everyday play. Quality: Nice finish and overall workmanship. Value: Good value on a good instrument. The Wow Factor: Not sure is this has much 'sex appeal,' other than its own aesthetic beauty.

Sound: This guitar has a nice bright sound but sounds best amplified. Bass strings are a lille weak but amped up it compensates. Doesn't compare with my old Yamaha 12 string acoustic for plain old acoustic sound. But I bought this guitar to be used strictly with an amp so no problem there. Feature: Pretty basic package. The equalizer is nicer. A built in tuner would have been a nice addition. Quality: The finish is nice, I am unsure of the materials. It looks like there is a piece of cardboard inside. I don't know what that is for none of my other guitars have any paper products inside. This part is attached right under the peg board holding the strings. My other guitars have a piece of wood there. The electronics are what they are. I don't want to drop this guitar or bang it around too much. I know what I can do with a regular electric and I know what I can do with an acoustic, this one is a bit more fragile I think. Manufacturer Support: I have owned Fender products in the past but never had to have repairs made. Overall: I hope this guitar will last me for a long time. I played my Yamaha 12 string for 25 years maybe this one will last as long I hope I do too.

Music Style: Folk, country and classical - some rock, ala Pink Floyd.
Back to Product Information
Sound: I have to admit, I was a little worried when I took the guitar out of the case, and started playing, the strings seemed to go out of tune immediately; this is somewhat different from my experience with a Yamaha 12 string accoustic, but I quickly found out that it was only a factor of the strings needing to stretch and now it holds it's tune very well. I also tried using a capo for 12 strings, but I also experienced the stretching factor. I suppose I will try again after the strings are worn in. Feature: I particularly like the three slide eq - very good range. Quality: I bought the black model, and if you are really fussy, you can see the hairline cracks in the coating. Note: this is only surface cracks, and is only in the finish, or the polyurethane. Nothing to worry about, and not visible, except from inches away. Value: Well, here's the gist: I paid 349 for it at a dealer that will not be mentioned, and then I see it here for 279 - I immediately got in touch with the place I bought it, and if the don't give me the difference (which they promise) I will return it, and order a brand new one. Manufacturer Support: not applicable. The Wow Factor: gotta have an accoustic 12 string electric - I have 6 string ovation, and Vantage Avenger electric, as well as Yamaha 6 string, Yamaha 12 string and Martin Classical. Overall: I expect this guitar to last for life, with good treatment. I don't remember ever destroying a guitar in my experience (although there are times when I don't remember anything).
