This guitar has a sound equal to its beauty. The Guild GAD-G212 12-string acoustic guitar has an exceptionally well-balanced, loud, warm, and bright voice with lots of articulation and no muddiness. Factory set up is usually quite right, and the straight neck has no buzzes. Very comfortable and easy to play. The Guild GAD-G212 12-String Acoustic Guitar is appropriate for men, women or children to play, because it does not have the jumbo body like so many other 12-strings. Features include solid spruce top, 12-string dreadnought style body, solid mahogany back and sides, unique 12-string bracing, one-piece mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, dark mahogany body bindings, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, special pearl inlays, dual truss rods, dovetail neck joint, and Grover Rotomatic mini tuners. No short cuts were taken when designing this guitar.
