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.

Acoustic 12 String Guitar

If you are looking for a guitar that will provide a back up rhythm or accompany other instruments, the Acoustic 12 string guitar is perfect. Because the 12 strings are strung very tight, it is difficult to pluck a single string, but to add richness, a full-bodied tone, and a chorus effect, the 12 string guitar makes unique music. The timbre and pitch converge of the chorus effect is perfect for a string ensemble or choir.

Willie McTell made the Acoustic 12 string guitar with his singing of the blues; he was able to master the 12 string plucking and utilized the strong bass sound to make his mark. Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter carried the 12 string guitar through the 30's and 40's but it wasn't revived until the 1960's. Pete Seeger brought attention back to the 12 string guitar with his recording in Carnegie Hall in 1963; people were reminded of the amazing richness and extra volume that the unique guitar offered.

As TV became a main source of exhibiting musicians with the invention of MTV, one notable use of an Acoustic 12 string guitar is credited to Kurt Cobain, who played a rendition of Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". But lacking current presence surrounding the Acoustic 12 string guitar, a new guitarist is needed to carry on its history and bring new light in the future. Perhaps you are that person.

Pick up an Acoustic 12 string guitar and begin your journey as not only a guitarist but a guitarist with the opportunity to merge history with modern music.
