A 12-string in the "Artist Series" spirit
Described as a "powerful" guitar in the vein of the Artist Series models, the Ad60Cespb12 aims for a rewarding playing experience: lutherie focused on projection, versatile wood selection, and renowned stage electronics. The visual finish remains sober and timeless with a natural finish (glossy top, semi-gloss back/sides), perfect for accompanying both acoustic sets and amplified contexts.
For whom and in which styles?
This 12-string is intended for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a full and shimmering sound, typical of doubled choruses. It excels in folk, pop, acoustic rock, and rhythmic accompaniment (strumming), but can also add a rich color in arpeggios. In its electro-acoustic version, it is particularly suited for stage musicians wanting to maintain an organic timbre while gaining control through the preamp.
The sound
The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, dynamics, and excellent response to attacks, helping a 12-string remain clear even when played loudly. The African mahogany pair (back/sides) enhances warmth and presence in the mids while maintaining well-controlled bass: an effective balance for full rhythms and bright arpeggios. The internal structure with FST2 bracing contributes to the instrument's stability and vibrational behavior. Once plugged in, the LR Baggs Stage Pro Bronze electronics are designed to respect the acoustic character, delivering a usable signal for stage and rehearsal.
Recommended compatible accessories
For amplification, a 6.35 mm mono jack cable is an essential accessory to connect the guitar to an acoustic amplifier, DI box, or mixing console. For identical replacement, the guitar is strung with D'Addario XTAPB1258O (12-string set).
