If you are looking for a rich and louder sound with unique tones every time you strum your guitar, the best option for you is an Acoustic 12 string guitar. Consisting of 12 strings, the guitar has six courses and there are two strings within each course. On the bass and treble courses, the strings are set differently; in the bass course the strings are tuned an octave apart, while the strings set in the treble course are tuned in unison. This gives each sound more depth and richness you can't get with any other guitar. The strings on the third course can be either in unison or an octave apart depending on what the musician is looking for.
