This 59X12 is a quirky, fun 12-string with a really cool vibe – it's all about that Dano jangle! The Lipstick pickup split offers some versatility, but it’s really shines in rock, indie, and jangly pop. It's a fantastic option for players seeking a unique voice and vintage character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Splitting the Lipstick creates a thinner, more Fender-like tone, adding some brightness and clarity to the inherently thick 12-string sound.
While not as resonant as solid wood, the Masonite construction contributes to the guitar's unique character and chime, and it’s surprisingly well-built for its price point.
The shorter scale makes the strings easier to fret, especially for beginners, but reduces string tension and may require lighter gauge strings to maintain good intonation.
