Pretty good for my first 12 string

Lahm, 21.01.2018

Not bad over all for a budget model. Nice rounded sound and a good pickup with a handy low end/bass control. Pretty chunky neck which takes some getting used to (I've played 12s with thinner necks than this one). Lovely jumbo body and great looking guitar. 12 strings are Gretch's speciality and for the price this isn't a bad one to start with... I may not hang on to this one for very long as I'm sure there are much nicer ones but its serving a purpose for the time being before I upgrade. Pretty happy with this one.

Sensationelles Preis / Leistungverhältnis

psoulstar161, 06.04.2018

Ich brauchte eine günstige 12 string für unplugged Shows, einfach um mal etwas mehr Klangvarianten und Abwechslung parat zu haben. Typische 12 String Songs, die man auch als solche im Ohr hat, kommen auf 6 Saiten doch immer irgendwie mau.

Die Verarbeitung der Gitarre ist spitzenklasse! Ein schön mattes Finish, ein nicht zu breites Griffbrett, ein eher flacher Hals, der trotz des breiteren Griffbretts nicht zu tief, wie ein Prügel, in die Handfläche reicht und eine wirklich perfekte Saitenlage, lassen die Gitarre sehr einfach und bequem spielen. Insgesamt machen alle Komponenten einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Mechaniken halten die Stimmung sehr gut.

Das verwendete Holz ist eher schlicht, was nicht heißen soll, dass es nicht ansprechend ist. Aber es handelt sich nicht um eine flametop! Das ist bei dem Preis auch nicht zu erwarten und damit kein Minuspunkt. Durch das matte finish ist das Holz dennoch sehr ansprechend.

Zum Klang: es jingelt und jangelt, das es nur so eine Freude ist. Die Gitarre strahlt, ist laut, eher hell klingend und hat sowas von Glocke. Desweiteren fällt sofort auf, dass, wenn man die Gitarre ein paar Minuten gespielt und zum leben erweckt hat, der durchaus große Dynamikrange. Kleinste Anschlagspositionsänderung sind deutlich zu hören, softes oder hartes Strumming werden entsprechend umgesetzt. Der für mich größte Pluspunkt ist aber, dass die Gitarre eine unfassbare Trennschärfe hat. Jeder Ton ist deutlich zu hören und ortbar. Kein Mullm oder verwaschener Sound. Sehr gut! Dies zusammen mit der sehr guten Bespielbarkeit auch in höheren Lagen, lassen auch lockeres solieren zu, ohne das Gefühl zu haben mit der Gitarre zu kämpfen. Hier ist ein deutlicher Unterschied zu günstigen Alternativen.

Der Fishman Sonitone ist ein bewährtes Pickup-System, das hier problemlos funktioniert. Klar, es gibt neben einem Piezo natürlicher klingende Systeme, aber auch hier den Preis beachten.

Wenn man überlegt, dass man eine 12string meist nur für ein paar Songs im Set braucht, ist es klar, dass man hier keine Unsummen investieren möchte. Guild bietet hier ein sensationelles Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis.

SUPERBE

PHILIPPE89, 13.03.2019

j'avais un peu peur de la livraison,mais c'était emballé comme une oeuvre d'art ( 2 cartons et la housse ).D'ailleurs c'en est une.Superbe instrument ,bien fini,à la sonorité qui prend aux tripes.Possédant des guitares électriques et une 6 cordes LAG ,cette guitare complète bien mon matériel. Ha j'oubliais , elle a un manche très agréable et facile à jouer. On en oublie les 12 cordes.Dans l'ampli le son est reproduit à l'identique.Les volume et tonalité dans la rosace permettent de conserver visuellement une guitare acoustique.Merveilleuse résonance de la caisse jumbo qui n'est pas gigantesque pour autant.Rapport qualité/prix tout à fait honnête à mon avis.On ne peut pas être déçu par cet instrument .

Buenisima budget 12 cuerdas

Dandyalessio, 08.10.2020

Estuve viendo12 cuerdas durante bastante tiempo, siendo un fan de los Grant Lee Buffalo y porqué siempre he amado este sonido armonico y teatral. Esta jumbo es una pasada, si no quieres gastar una cifra enorme. Tiene muy buen volumen de sonido, sobre todo los bajos me han sorprendido. De momento no he notado ningún buzz, a veces tipico en 12 cuerdas. El set del action me parece aceptable y muy bueno el pickup, una vez enchufada. Esteticamente es espectacular y, en particular, me gusta el detalle del Fishman escondido al interior y no visible. Esto dona a la guitarra un aspecto retro-western que le da mucho appeal.
Por supuesto, si prefieres "solid woods" hay otro modelos mas caros, como la 1512, por ejemplo. Pero esta, con solid spruce top y maple back & sides se presenta con un aspecto bastante solido y el fretboard no es para nada duro al momento de tocar, aunque me parezca un poco grueso y pesado. A nivel acabado no he notado ningún fallo grave, de momento.Solo se nota apenas, a la luz, la linea del pegamento entre el cuello y el cuerpo. En general muy contento, también con Thomann y el embalaje muy bien hecho. Si puedo dar un consejo, no estaría mal incluir una funda blanda guild también, eventualmente con un incremento de precio, pero me parece algo bastante basico.
