Experience the Rich, Full Sound of a 12 String Guitar


There’s nothing quite like the sound of a 12-string acoustic guitar. From the iconic intro to “Hotel California” to the jangling folk anthems of the ’60s, the 12-string possesses a shimmering magic that’s unmistakable in any mix.


While many players associate the 12-string with campfire chords and fingerstyle ballads, it’s capable of so much more. Blues musicians have long embraced its rich, galloping rhythm, and if your technique is advanced enough, you can even solo on one. The result can be breathtaking, like two guitarists playing in perfect sync. Each note blooms with a natural chorus-like effect that can turn a simple idea into hours of inspiration.


Which Body Shape Is Best for 12 String Acoustic Guitars?


12-string guitars come in all shapes and sizes, and the best fit depends on your playing style. Looking for volume and punch? A dreadnought or jumbo delivers that classic, full-bodied sound with strong low-end projection. Prefer something easier to handle? Slimmer options with cutaways or shallow-body designs can offer greater comfort and playability, especially during long sessions. If you’re not sure where to start, check out what your favorite artists play. Their go-to model might just point you in the right direction.
