Langejans Guitars, 2003 R-12 Custom Twelve String Acoustic Guitar

We see very few custom made 12 strings from independent luthiers, so we are happy to have this one for you. It is crafted by Del Langejans from Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce and has a rosewood neck as well for added sustain and warmth. This is a very easy to play 12 string, it incorporates a zero fret that allows for low action and light tension. The cutaway grants access to the dusty end and it has lovely abalone top trim, a Baggs Duet pickup system with onboard controls and gold tuners. One beautiful 12 string that you'll enjoy playing every day. This instrument features:

  • Comments: "The rosewood neck and the heavier construction of this guitar makes it a very stable 12-string, even tuned in standard tuning. The zero fret makes the action nice and low and The L.R. Baggs Duet II system is the perfect match for playing live." - Al Petteway

    "I love the easy tension on this 12 string. The zero fret makes the difference and keeps the action low and easy. Sitka is a great choice hear because it's clear but also has good warmth, which a 12 string needs. This one has a rosewood neck, maple bindings and a gorgeous bearclaw top, what more could you need..." - Paul Heumiller
