ESP LTD ARC-12NAT electro-acoustic guitar 12-string
Product no: 9000-0009-1131 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty, the strings come with a manufacturing defects warranty.

General

This is an exceptionally shaped 12-string guitar. The sound of a 12-string can be described as rich, full and complex. As the low E, A, D and G strings are each paired with a string that's tuned an octave higher, the sound is very full. Because these strings are never tuned exactly the same, the distinctive 12-string floating sound is created. Another special feature of this guitar is the location of its sound hole, which is above the bridge, giving this guitar a woody tone. Also, this position counters feedback as the sound isn't bounced back onto the strings.

The body of the ARC-12NAT

This guitar's mahogany body and spruce top give it its pleasant sound. It is this combination of wood types that allow for a very balanced sound. The neck is also made of mahogany and supports a rosewood fretboard. Using these wood types, LTD have created a beautiful guitar with a great look, sound and excellent playability.
