RB-612CS Classic Series : This guitar made me very happy

3 years ago

I have never ordered guitars on this site before, moreover, I was biased against buying a guitar on the Internet, and even more so on a site that is located abroad!

But as they say, money decides everything - after reviewing the video clips and going through a lot of options for myself - which guitar to choose, I decided to buy.

My choice was this guitar, I just never had a 12-string guitar, and I have long dreamed of one!

After a very helpful chat with the support team, I made up my mind. The order was processed and sent very quickly with constant tracking.

2 weeks and the guitar was with me! Perfectly packaged, came whole and without scratches!

I was more than surprised how beautiful this guitar is! Even prettier than the picture! I did not notice any special flaws, although I examined it very carefully! Neck, frets, all in perfect condition! Volume tone, switch, everything works! The tuners hold the line perfectly!

The only thing I had to do was lower the strings to 1.3mm above the 12th fret. From the factory it was 3.5 mm, it was not very pleasant. The whole procedure took 5 minutes. I was a little worried that after I lowered the strings, a ringing would be heard, but no - this did not happen! The guitar sounds just as great as ever!

This guitar is very comfortable to play! The sound is very good - fully meets my requirements!

Of the shortcomings: they are very few, and they are not significant at all)

- The bottom under f is not very well polished, purely visually visible,

- It seemed to me that the strings are not the best, but this is understandable, for such money!

- the tailpiece is divided into 6, not 12 strings

- and as I already wrote, the string height setting from the factory is too high, corrected it!

- it seemed that the sound of pickups is a bit quiet - added volume)

- when I attached the strap, the guitar leans noticeably towards the neck

Overall a great guitar, comfortable and beautiful! The disadvantages are so insignificant that you just shouldn't pay attention to them, but just get used to it!

I'm already thinking about which one to order!
