The Baton Rouge X34S/D-12 is a surprisingly capable 12-string for the money. It’s got a bright, jangly character thanks to the solid top, and the walnut back adds a touch of warmth. This is an excellent option for players wanting that iconic 12-string shimmer without the premium-priced tag – just be prepared for a bit of a finger workout!
