Full review

I bought my Epiphone 12 string guitar after having a brief affair with the 6 string version. This affair was tragically brought to an end when my beautiful 6 stringed lover had her neck broken in a car crash.

The tone of an Epiphone guitar is very rich - I don't know why, but it is. It could be that Epiphone are part of Gibson who are renowned for great guitars, but I can tell you that Epiphone were just as good before the association with Gibson.

Being essentially a singer rather than a guitarist, I find that the 12 string version of this guitar adds greater depth to the sound of the chords I play as I sing.

If you've never played a 12 string before, don't worry - they are just as easy to play as a 6 string. In fact the chords are the same. The strings are really 6 pairs rather than 12 individual strings with the pairs on the lower four strings being tuned an octave apart.

I endorse Epiphone guitars because they give you beautiful tones for an affordable price, with the added advantage of knowing that they belong to the esteemed Gibson family.
