Very nice!

it was back-ordered, but glad I was patient, as the guitar is what I was hoping for... feels great, sounds great, and will spend some time with this one, unlike two others I have that are troublesome...

Value

You just can't beat the value for money, simple as that

12 String Rick Copy

A very nice guitar, the only issue is changing the strings. I suppose you can buy an aftermarket tailpiece, to make it easier to change the strings. Other than that, the guitar is really nice. Paint is awesome, pickups are real nice too.

Alternative to popular name brand

Using onstage live and sounds everybody as good as the other guitar players 6 string version of the industry standard name brand of these guitars.

A real Rickenbacker alternative

This is quite a small guitar but it packs a great sound. The tuners are good as is the finish. I can recommend it.

Killer 12-string and amazing value.

I was really pleased with all parts of this transaction. The customer service was great, shipping was very fast all things considered. The price is exceptional. All five stars.

The guitar has exceeded my expectations, the fit and finish are really good; there was one small chip during shipping but not that big of a deal, the ply of the pick guard is slightly separated but glue should fix that. The fret work is awesome, the neck is perfect. The action is perfect after lowering the bridge. I am not complaining, at all. Very happy.

I will say, if you’re playing this guitar while standing expect some neck dive. Not the worst ever but the smaller body does show up in this regard. Great playing position while seated, however.

Needs more work that some of the others

If you are prepared to get this re-strung R*ck*nb*ck*r style [thick strings at the top, not like this [acoustic style] with thin strings at the top] then even with the pickups it has it sounds amazingly close to a 330 or 360/12. How do I know ? Because I also have a 360/12 and used to have a 330/12.

So much of that classic sound comes from being able to pedal bass notes and this can get there with mods that cost less than a R*ck*nb*ck*r case does !!

Great jangly sound

Only an electric 12 String was missing for my collection so bought this. Excellent value and sounds great.
