I waited eagerly got this guitar because it looked like what I wanted, a medium sized 12-String with a nice Fender neck. It was a disappointment when I opened it up and tried it out. The tuners seem sub par and the fifth string (G) would not reach pitch. It just froze somewhere around F. Would not go further. In fact, all the tuners were lackluster and I fished around with a Snark for awhile before I realized it was to no avail. And the nut was unfinished, just sharp edges sticking out that were the worst I've seen in 50 years of guitar playing.. It needed filing to match the contour of the neck. And it is not that small its kinda clunky and I returned it. I would not recommend this guitar.
