Twelve string arch-top guitar

My 12 string is a round-hole arch-top based on my larger Model 2, with 12 frets to the body.  The soundboard is carved German spruce, the back and sides can be either rosewood or Blackwood. The neck is Wengé, giving great strength and a clear tone.

It has excellent power and punch and  separation; the pairs of strings soften the sound but without a hint of the confused sound that can be a problem with flat-top 12 strings.

Gotoh 510 tuners – the best

 

Fully compensated 12 string saddle
