Great for the price

I bought this to experiment with 12 string sound. It's not the highest quality guitar, but it sounds good, and it's definitely worth the price. Highly recommended for beginners.

This is my first 12 string acoustic. Electronics works fine, guitar sounds great. Ofc it's not a 1000€ + guitar but I liked the playability and the tone of the guitar. Tunning stability is fine. Not perfect but it is acceptable. But I couldn't tune the high g string, it broke two times in a row. I'll send it to a luthier to solve the problem. For 100€ it is a great buy.

a beautiful instrument overall

My first 12 string ever. It sounds otterworldly. I'd say it could have n in-built tuner since 12 strings are a pain to deal with. For this price point expect some intonation inconsistency, even though it looks and sounds fabulous!

It's worth buying and doing the setup yourself if needed.

good but

the sound is very good, excellent playability but the strings are very high out of the box, you have to file the fretboard and bridge holder, the even neck allows you to make a low pitch, after finishing everything is fine

Good value 22 string accoustic

I ordered this guitar to add a 12 string accoustic to my collection. I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a guitar I was not going to use a lot so decided on the HB D 200CE 12 NT. knowing it was in the budget price range I was not expecting perfection but I was pleasantly surprised with it when it arrived. There were no blemishes and it looked good. However the strings were nowhere near tuned up, so the first thing was to tune it. The g string snapped before reaching the correct pitch so I had to get a fine g string from a spare set I had to finish it off with. I then strummed the guitar and I have to say that it sounded good. Better than I expected. However, on the downside, the fret ends were very sharp and definitely need smoothing off, plus the pickup wiring inside the body is loose a rattles when the guitar is moved. Despite these two issues, the guitar is very good value for money.and I would recommend it for a player who doesn’t want to splash out a lot more. I think it would mean splashing out a lot more money to get a noticeable difference.

It's an ok guitar

It's sounds ok and it plays ok. I bought a cheap string set and the high G broke after 2 days... I don't like to record it directly with the jack, I just use a mic

Nice Acoustic

The only reason I gave this four stars is because of the tuners. I just don't care for them-they don't have a tight feel to them. That is the only thing I would or will change. I would buy this guitar again.

Very happy but...

I like everything about it except one thing. The first impression that it gave me was not very promising. Why? The fretboard looked like someone spilled white chalk all over it. It was easily resolved with a soft cloth but it's not the first thing you want to see when you unwrap a new instrument. Someone should be tuning and inspecting the product before it is packed in the box for shipment.

good value for money

This is my first 12 strings guitar. The sound quality is quite good and I didn't expect

to be better. Need to buy some spare strings because most probably they gonna break with the first tuning. This guitar is good value for money

great value 12 string

I was hesitant at first because this guitar is so cheap but as soon as I got it I knew it was a quality guitar. Sounds great acoustically and when plugs in through the pickup. The finish is ok, not perfect but for the price it is great. Great value for money.

Würde ich gleich wieder kaufen...

Diese Gitarre hab ich für meinen Sohn als Geburtstagsgeschenk geordert - weil er sehr am Gitarrenspiel interessiert war (und ist) und sich eine 12-saitige gewünscht hat. Der Sound ist gut - Qualität und Verarbeitung ohne Makel.

Die Saitenlage ist o.k. und das Instrument ist bundrein und (fuer eine 12-Saiter) gut zu greifen. Die dünne D-Saite reisst sehr leicht - man kann da eventuell mit einem anderen Saitensatz Abhilfe schaffen. Ist wohl sowieso angesagt...

Die Mechanik ist leichtgängig und der Pickup funktioniert gut - er hat schon bei zahlreichen Gigs gute Dienste geleistet (die Regelung ist recht komfortabel).

Die Gitarre ist im regelmäßigen Einsatz "and never let us down".

Fazit (wie die Überschrift schon sagt): Würde ich sofort wieder kaufen - und bei dem Preis gleich zweimal...
