A Perfect First 12-string Guitar!

The Epiphone DR-212 lets you say it in 12 strings instead of six, so you can enjoy even richer, stronger acoustic tone - and give yourself a new sonic palette to explore. And thanks to its affordable price, that signature 12-string sound doesn't have to be out of reach. The DR-212 features a select spruce top with scalloped bracing and features a mahogany body and a mahogany neck to balance its strong voice with warmth. With its blend of quality woods and superb tone, Epiphone DR-212 is the perfect first 12-string guitar.

Epiphone DR-212 12-string Acoustic Guitar at a Glance:
  • Choice woods for rich acoustic tone
  • The perfect first 12-string

Choice woods for rich acoustic tone
Epiphone gave the DR-212 all the right tonewoods to achieve a rich tone. For a strong voice, it features a select spruce top with scalloped bracing, while warmer-toned mahogany comprises its back, sides, and neck. A natural finish gives the DR-212 a classic look.

The perfect first 12-string
Twelve-string guitars have a signature voice - one that's particularly well suited to solo acoustic performances, whether that's onstage or in the living room. If you already play acoustic guitar, but don't yet own a 12-string, the Epiphone DR-212 is the perfect first instrument. It's affordably priced, but offers up excellent tone, so you can hone your skills and take your playing in a new direction.

A very nice instrument

by Terry Hoffman from Kansas

If you're looking for an acoustic 12 string give this one serious consideration. I just recieved mine the other day and I was very pleased and not surprised because I own several EPI guitars and I en... read more [+]joy all of them. This is a beautiful and well made guitar as I expected it would be. I made a very LIGHT adjustment to the truss rod and, the action improved GREATLY. The strings that it came with aren't the best, most aren't but, I'll play them till their done, I've already ordered some D'Addario EJ41's and I'm sure these will improve the sound and playability to suit my taste. There aren't a whole lot of cases that fit this instrument just do the overall length but the one I'm looking at is the Gator GL Dread 12-string Lightweight Guitar Case
It appears to be the best choice for my needs. I have an SKB case for my Flying V that is this type of case and, it's perfect for my needs. Think I'll do a Seymour Duncan SA-3HC Hum-Canceling Woody PU to complete this purchase as I do not wish to install anything permanent or alter the instrument in any way. Great sounding,Great looking and, for the right price. close [-]

Playability of the DR-212

I was pleasantly surprised with the guitar. I immediately changed the strings and slightly touched up the neck truss and started to play. Very good tuners, stay in tune with hard playing and after day... read more [+]s of non use. The neck is not too wide as many 12 strings are. The finish is as good as any guitar. If I have any criticism it would be it does not project quite as good as a $2000.00 guitar. But then I did not pay that much, did I? I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone of any playing caliber. close [-]

Bought this based on Acoustic Guitar Mag's reccomendation. Was looking for a 12 string again, but for the limited use I knew it would get did not want to spend a lot. This guitar is the answer. It's a... read more [+] bit "thin" sounding for a 12 string, but for the money, the fit, finish, quality, etc. is spot on. Highly recommended if you're looking for a "once in a while" or fill in guitar close [-]
