Frequently Asked Questions

Expect a slightly stiffer action and more tension, requiring a bit more finger strength, but the feel is still remarkably comfortable for a 12-string.
The ES2 is surprisingly excellent for recording; it captures a very natural acoustic tone with good dynamic range, though some EQ may still be desired.
While solid rosewood offers a richer, more complex tone, the plywood construction provides a tighter, more controlled sound which is well-suited for the 12-string configuration and overall balance of this model.
