12 String Acoustic Guitar Cutaway,Adjustable Truss Rod Full Size Bundle with Gig Bag,Tuner,Strings,Strap, Picks, Black

So far so good, took a little while to tune and retune as the strings and neck settled down but has held its notes well through some robust sessions. My first time with a 12-string and found it fairly easy to play and quite forgiving for a rank amateur. The sound is very rich and at the price it's been a great addition.

I absolutely love this 12-string guitar! I had an Ovation 12-string years ago and really wanted to play again, but needed to find the most economical solution and this Janerock guitar fit the bill - it's a good solution for all guitar players, beginners to advanced. The guitar arrived in perfect condition, and the matte black finish is nicely done without any flaws and cleans up fingerprints nicely with a moistened microfiber cloth. I was initially worried the body might be too deep for me, as I'm not a big guy and the specs said 7" deep - but I was pleasantly surprised that the body at the neck junction is 4" deep and at the base 5" deep - perfect for me. After playing a few days I accidentally broke the Octave G string tuning it, so I loosened all the strings, removed the saddle and sanded a millimeter or two off the bottom of the saddle to lower the action, which turned out perfectly. I conditioned the fretboard and bridge with some lemon air for guitars, and polished it up - the wood drank it in and the process turned out excellent. Then I restrung the Octave G string and tuned everything up, but the Octave G broke again - the tuner was at F# going up the scale, but I don't think it was capable of tuning to the Octave G and the string broke again. So I decided to use a #3B string in place of the very thin #6G string, which required filing the nut slot just a touch and then restringing with the #3B string tuned equal to the #5G lower octave string - it worked out great and sounds excellent - a richer and more vibrant overall tone with 3 sets of matching string tones: GG, BB, EE. I strum with vigor at times, so I'm not going to ever try again with the thin Octave G again, as I like the tone as it is. In the process of this 'journey' I've watched a lot of YouTube videos about 12-string tuning, restringing, fretboard care, etc., so it's been a real learning experience and well worth the effort. Tomorrow Amazon delivers a guitar Luthier tool kit so I can take my guitar maintenance to the next level - I hope this review helps you.

Overall for $200 imo this is probably the best 12 string acoustic I’ve found so far that you can buy brand new. With that being stated if you can go up about a $150 more on the price then I wouldn’t consider this to you. The reason why I say for $200 this is a steal is because not many 12 strings are under $300 brand new. Now I will admit if you wanna keep this guitar for the long run I would consider having at least the frets filed properly and having the string height adjusted because the string height is horrific coming out of the box. You can get away with the tuners for awhile and the stock nut you can maybe get away with as long as it’s filed correctly. I would also consider after a string change to apply clear coat over the top of this stock finish as I’ve only had this since yesterday and it’s covered in nasty filth. Overall for $200 it’s okay but the craftsmanship could be a tad better and less sloppy. But overall I’m happy with my purchase.

Got this as a gift and they loved it!
