Overview
Not a standard six string, this Fender is a twelve string dreadnought whose paired courses create a full, chorus like shimmer. A cutaway opens the upper frets, and a Fishman pickup with preamp carries the sound to an amp.
Rich, layered strumming is the reason to buy it, and the hardshell case protects it from the start. Paired strings add tension and tuning time, which suits players ready for the extra effort.
Who it's for
Singer songwriters and rhythm players who want a big, lush sound when plugged in. First time players should start on a six string.
Pros and cons
- Lush twelve string sound

- Cutaway for upper frets
- More tuning time
- Higher string tension
- Scale length and nut width not listed
Performance notes
The shimmer comes from paired strings ringing slightly apart, which thickens every chord. Scalloped bracing frees the spruce top to carry that volume, and the Fishman preamp shapes the amplified tone.
