The Best of Both Worlds
For electric guitar players, gigging with an acoustic-electric guitar can be uncomfortable. Deeper bodies with hard edges can leave you feeling worse for wear after you step off the stage. But with the LTD TL-12, that's a thing of the past! This 12-string thinline acoustic-electric guitar strikes the perfect balance between acoustic guitar tone and electric guitar feel. Its slim body is made entirely from mahogany for a robust unplugged sound with plenty of sweetness. It has a Thin U-shaped mahogany neck and jumbo frets that feels like it should belong on an electric guitar. And when it comes time to plug in, premium Fishman electronics reproduce a pleasant tone that sits well in any mix. Designed for a life onstage, the LTD TL-12 Thinline Acoustic-electric guitar will change your set for the better.
A neck fit for an electric guitar
To provide a playing feel unlike any other acoustic guitar, the LTD TL-12 is equipped with a fast-playing mahogany neck. It's carved into a Thin U profile reminiscent of the lightning-fast necks of the '80s. Your fingers will delight at the smooth feel of the roasted jatoba fingerboard. And to round out the electric-style playing experience, LTD equipped this guitar with 22 jumbo frets for a familiar playing feel. If you love the feel of a thin and fast neck, Sweetwater believes you'll like the LTD TL-12.
Premium tonewoods make for great acoustic character
For the TL-12, LTD chose choice tonewoods to provide the best possible acoustic sound. The mahogany top, back, and sides create a deep, warm, and highly resonant tone. Together with the set mahogany neck and jatoba fingerboard, the LTD TL-12 produces a potent blend of excellent definition and savory resonance.
Fishman electronics for stellar plugged-in tone
Since the TL-12 is designed to be a perfect stage companion, it needs standout electronics. The team over at LTD didn't disappoint! They equipped this acoustic-electric guitar with a Fishman Sonicore under-saddle pickup. Sonicore pickups are trusted by guitarists all over the world due to their impeccable accuracy. The pickup runs straight into a Fishman TL-3 preamp complete with tone-shaping controls and an onboard tuner. Once you plug in, you'll have an immediately useable tone that's great for any mix.
