Player Reviews:
"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
"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
