This Harley Benton 12-string is a surprisingly capable instrument for the price. The spruce top gives it a lively quality, and the Fishman pickup makes it stage-ready. It’s a great entry point for players wanting that lush 12-string sound without the premium price tag, especially those getting into folk or indie music.

Frequently Asked Questions

The okoume neck is generally comfortable, but the wider nut width (48mm) takes some getting used to for 6-string players.
The D'Addario EJ38s are decent for beginners, but many players will want to switch to lighter gauge strings to reduce the tension on a 12-string.
The Thomann gig bag offers reasonable protection with its foam padding, but it's not a hard case, so handle with care during travel.
