They can require slightly more finger strength, but a proper setup makes a huge difference. Every 12 string guitar from Richards Guitars receives a custom pro setup, ensuring easy playability and perfect tuning stability.

12 string acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars excel at adding depth and shimmer to live performances and recordings. They’re perfect for folk, rock, and ambient styles, producing lush harmonic textures that fill any mix.
