BOUCHER SG12-23-E 12-STRING SERIES S-JUMBO AFRICAN BUBINGA

The 12-string guitar is the ultimate instrument for many well-known singer-songwriters. Its unique sound is easily recognizable. You only have to listen to great hits such as Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven, Give a Little Bit, Sundown, Wish You Were Here or Mr. Tambourine Man to recognize the typical sound of a 12-string guitar.

Moreover, when carefully fine-tuned, the 12-string guitar is as easy, if not easier to play than the conventional 6-string guitar. The 6 additional strings on a 12-string guitar, tuned in unison or octave, are smaller in diameter and the usual position of your fingers for chords remains exactly the same. Moreover, they bring harmonic richness, creating a sense of extended space.

The Boucher 12-string guitars series have earned the attention of many acoustic guitar virtuosos who particularly appreciate the richness, subtlety and harmonic balance of our instruments. Instrumental music, support for song lyrics and the songwriters’ quest for musical quality are specifically well served by our SG12-23-E!
