A 12-string guitar is made with 12 strings, producing a richer and a more diverse tone than the standard six-string guitar. The strings are positioned vertically in six lines, each having two strings often played together. The two strings are commonly tuned one octave apart from the other. The 12-string guitar is often used by guitar players who have already mastered playing the six-string model.
Key design: Choose a 12-string guitar with an alternating key design for easy tuning and playing. Durability: To ensure durability, look for a 12-string guitar made of solid durable hardwood such as maple, rosewood, and alder.
Construction: Choose a 12-string guitar with a neck-through-body to get greater sustains.
