A Modern 12-String Within a Stage-Oriented Lineage
This Standard Elite follows a decidedly practical approach: lutherie focused on projection and comfort, combined with integrated electronics ready for the stage. The New England Burst finish, multiple rosettes, and refined details (multi-ply binding, diamond inlays) enhance its visual identity without sacrificing the efficiency of an instrument designed for frequent and long playing sessions.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Thanks to its 12-string configuration and cutaway design, this guitar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to enrich their playing with a natural chorale effect. It excels in folk, pop, acoustic rock, pick accompaniment, airy arpeggios, and rhythmic layering in the studio. The built-in tuner and preamp also facilitate use in rehearsals and on stage.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers a quick response, clear highs, and a generous dynamic range, highly appreciated on a 12-string where every nuance matters. The sculpted X bracing helps maintain the spectrum with stable projection and good definition of the string pairs. The Lyrachord GS Deep Contour body promotes a balanced and consistent output, while the OCP-1K pickup and OP-Pro preamp duo allows for precise amplified sound, with the practical advantage of an onboard tuner.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original setup, you can opt for the ADAMAS NUOVA COATED Phosphor-Bronze 1616NU Light .010-.047 string set (GEWA reference 664.670). Picks (from soft to medium) are perfectly suited to balance the attack and brightness of a 12-string.
