Kona 12-String Guitar

There is nothing more appeasing to the ears than the sound of music coming from a guitar. Its versatility has been widely recognized and is present in most genres. They come in a wide range of shapes and sizes and are capable of producing a broad spectrum of sound types.

There are three main types of guitars: the electric guitar, the classical guitar, and the acoustic guitar. Whether it is Country, Folk, Flamenco, or Rock music, the pleasant sound of this instrument definitely has made its mark in music.

Very popularly used is the 12-string guitar because of the unique sound it produces. The twelve-string guitar – which comes in both the acoustic and electric versions – plays a richer, more embellished melody, while delivering a “chorus like” effect because of the differences in sound produced by the two strings on each course. The pair of strings in each bass course is tuned to an octave apart, and the pair of strings in each treble course is identically tuned. This feature affords guitar players a rich musical quality with the essense of virtually orchestral sound. There have been some notable musicians who have used the 12-string guitar including, Arlo Guthrie, Paul Simon, Neil Young, George Harrison of the Beatles, Tom Petty, and Jimmy Page.

The Kona 12-String Guitar, also available in both acoustic and electric versions, brings with it a “fat” natural chorus that sets it apart from other 12-strings in its class. This masterpiece comes with the brand’s trademark Kona “broken in” sound that only gets better with age. It’s a classic design that gives guitar players the needed features such as a solid spruce top with natural gloss finish, a full body neck and headstock binding, with many models coming “amp ready”. The solid top delivers lots of volume, producing the crisp highs and the warm lows that are associated with some of the other brands that carry a much higher price tag.

Although great, it is important to understand that this 12-string comes with its share of challenges. It is virtually impossible to perform certain techniques like “bends”, they are much harder to tune, change strings, and picking is much more complicated.

There are many avenues to find your favorite Kona 12-String Guitar. But if you want my opinion, a great recommendation for finding one of these Kona classics at the best price is online through Ebay.
