This Pursuit Exotic S 12-string is a really interesting offering. The myrtlewood top gives it a unique, airy voice that sits well in a mix, and the Fishman pickup is surprisingly good for amplified performance. It's a great choice for players looking for a comfortable 12-string with a pleasant, balanced tone—especially those who appreciate a slightly less aggressive 12-string experience.
