Luna Muse 12 String Cutaway Acoustic Guitar, Maple Review

Luna Muse 12 String Cutaway Acoustic Guitar, Maple
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is my third or forth 12 string and I am very impressed (the others were Yamaha and Ibenez). The solid top and maple back and sides create a sweet tone and when plugged in it rocked my world. I'm not going to suggest that it will beat a Taylor or Gibson or any other high end guitar but when you consider it is about one fifth to one tenth of the price, well...nuf said. Still it has great tone and the action makes you think you're playing a six string. The neck is a little narrower than a standard 12 string, but it's not a problem for me and I have big fat ogre fingers. You get so much more than your moneys worth. I'm thinking about selling my Ovation Legend so I can make room for the six string Luna Muse.

Breedlove Atlas Stage J350/EF Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Breedlove Atlas Stage J350/EF Acoustic Electric Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this Breedlove from Guitar Center in Dallas. I went there to buy a Takamine Jumbo (EG523SC), which I'd been shopping for for a long time. I played the Tak, basically liked it, and then saw this Breedlove jumbo they had on the wall, deeply discounted as it had been a floor model for quite a while. As soon as I touched it I knew I was dealing with something in a different class from the Takamine. The J350 is as bright and loud as the Tak, but without being "boomy," due to its clear but deep bass tone. The neck is a little wider than my old Fender, which takes some getting used to, but I have found that the width, while challenging my grip a bit at first, also gives me more room on the fretboard.
The electronic tuner is excellent (and the guitar holds its tune very well), and the pickup is brilliant. With the blowout price, I got this guitar for $791 (plus tax) with a breedlove hard case. I could not be more pleased with the deal. I have been in there since and played a Taylor worth $2200 and could not say it had a fuller or clearer sound than my J350. You will not be disappointed. If I had more money, I would certainly have paid it for this guitar; as it is I consider myself lucky to have found one in my modest price range!

Breedlove Atlas Stage J350/EF-12 Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

(More customer reviews)
I've had several 12s over the years, but I've always been disappointed... not this time. AJ350..Where have you been all my life? I've hated broken G octaves, bad action at fret 12+ and overall lack of depth and balance in the bass and midrange... that being said:
WOW! Nice guitar! Just unboxed it and tuned it up... has the lowest action I've ever seen for a factory run guitar. Sticker inside said guitar had been setup once it got in from Korea. Great job! String height across the entire fretboard TO THE SOUNDHOLE was 2/32! Nice.... very nice.
Something else (big deal for me) - I had grown so tired of breaking G octave strings on pin based bridges that I had almost given up and permanently kept my former 12 string tuned to D to avoid breakage. Three cheers for Breedlove's pinless bridge - the G octave walked right up to full concert pitch with narry a wimper! YEAH!!!
I can't wait to hook this guitar into our church's audio system to hear the LR Baggs pickup. It includes a really sweet tuner you'll enjoy.
Lastly... If you think Dreadnot 12s sound anemic.... you're right. The first time you strum this guitar you hear the immediate effect of jumbo architecture - you've finally got the bass and "grunt" you've always wanted in a 12. The sound from this guitar is VERY balanced and gives you everything you've always missed in smaller body 12s.
Icing on the cake includes: abalone binding, flamed maple on sides and back, Grover tuners and it comes with its own case - yep! You don't have to buy one after you get it! Nice....
Get this guitar. You won't be disappointed.

Oscar Schmidt OG312 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Review

Oscar Schmidt OG312 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't say enough good things about this guitar. I have been playing for almost 2.5 years, so I'm still relatively new. However, having been involved with music for at least 15 years (through school band or chorus) I consider myself fairly educated as far as sound goes, and this makes a wonderful sound.
The action is very comfortable, the higher strings seem to ring just a little louder than the low ones, but, that could be the way I am hitting them.
I truly enjoy this guitar. It is the "go to" out of my collection.

I have owned one of these for about 2 years. It is great! If you chord, there is no better accompaniment for your voice. If you finger pick, there's plenty of room between the sets of strings. It's soundboard puts out plenty of volume. The more I play it the better it is sounding.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. It sounds great and does all that he wanted it to do. We had looked elsewhere for the same product and they wanted at least $100.00 more. Will buy again.

I received the item a few days ago through Amazon.com from "theguitarfactory" and only recently noticed hairline cracks on both sides of the neck and a tiny piece of the wood has flaked off. The guitar sounds ok but I really don't know if the cracks are a minor or major problem.

Dean Exotica Cocobolo Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

I bought this guitar today.
This guitar is a thing of beauty, the wood is beautiful and the binding is incredible.
I have not seen craftsmanship like this in a long time.
The guitar has a nice tone and the action is good, right out of the case.
Even without an amp it is loud enough to be heard.
The on board tuner is great and very handy. their symbol lights up both wings when the right pitch for the string is reached.
The on board electronics are very nice and when i plugged it into the amp I must have pushed the volume up, it got my attention in a hurry.
(of course the wife says, Turn that down)
Over all this is one heck of a nice guitar.
If you love exotic wood, this is a great guitar to own.

Takamine G Series EG523SC-12 Jumbo 12 String Acoustic Electric Guitar, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned over the past 40 years many good guitars,including acoustic, electric, classical and hollow body but 12 strings guitar. I wasn't impressed watching people playing this guitar over the internet. It sounded very thin. However this guitar has numerous good reviews so I bought it. This is a very beautiful guitar. Crafmanship is neat. No spilling glue anywhere. Set up is just right. Excellent playability. I love the sustain and the chorus-like sound of this guitar. It happend to me playing a cord and let it ringing for very long time and enjoyed the bell like sound. Thingking of a sip of tasty wine or coffee. The tuner is very helpful. Amplified sound is excellent. Good string balance. just set it flat EQ. With resonable volume, it sounds very similar to the unamplified sound but louder. This guitar deserves a good case so I bought the SKB 20. Perfect fit. Yahoo! I wonder why you have to pay more for a "better guitar". Thank you all for the honest reviews that help me to acquire this guitar. BTW, my C132S I bought 1986 keeps sounding faithfully over these years. I might be biased.

I have had this guitar for a whole seven hours and I'm already in love. I'm also in love with Amazon Prime. I ordered this yesterday at 11:43am and received it today at 11:10am. The $7 charge for Saturday delivery was well worth it. The guitar came set up nicely with low action out of the box. A few minutes of tuning and it's playing like a dream. Great tone played acoustically, plug it in and it's even better. I'm no expert so take this review as you will but I think this is an exceptional value for a North American handcrafted instrument.
