Ibanez AEG5012 AEG 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Dark Violin Sunburst

Bought this to replace my ole trusty Yamaha FG230. This is a GREAT GUITAR. Sounds awesome and will go nicely with my collection. Not expensive but plays like it is. Great Sound form a smaller acoustic. The tuner is excellent!!!

I purchased this guitar a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it! Did some research before I bought it, and just about everyone praised it. For a smaller guitar, it has a nice and full sound. Solidly built and very playable. Built-in tuner is a plus. Looks beautiful. To ease the string tension, I have it tuned to D standard, which sounds perfect. Highly recommended. And great price. especially for a 12 string.

I've actually lost count of how many 12 strings I've purchased over the years, but there have been a lot. I've always been captivated by their melodic sound, especially when you couple them with right songs. Anyway, for years now, I've been looking for a 12 that didn't cost an arm and a leg, that wasn't too big, but had a big enough sound. For probably the last three or four months I've been playing with this Ibanez every time I'd visit my local Johnson City, NY GC. It fit about everything I was looking for: easy to play, great action, decent sound plugged and unplugged, decent quality. It even has a great little built in tuner that I've never had on a 12 string, and man is that handy and accurate too! I really like the smaller body. It adds to its ease of play and, very importantly, makes it lighter; no shoulder burn with this one. I finally asked myself what I was waiting for and went ahead and bought it and have hardly put it down since I brought it home. Not sure what else to say about it other than to take it from someone who's been playing and loving 12 strings for nearly 50 years, this guitar is a great value for it's price.

This is my first 12 string. I saw several negative reviews about the guitar staying tuned and the battery popping out. I have had the guitar for 4 days and only tuned it day one, the built in tuner is a game changer. The sound is a bit tinny but I still love the sound. I love the action, it is very much like my Guild. I play in church and would not hesitate to play it in a service. The guitar is fun to play and you cannot beat the value.

Ibanez has always had great budget alternatives and this one is no exception. 12-strings can be difficult since you need to press 2 strings down simultaneously but this one has beautifully low action. The tone is pretty - I'd recommend to arpeggiate - play each note. It sounds magical.
