A 12-string guitar is a steel-stringed acoustic or electric guitar with twelve strings in six courses, which means each standard string is paired with another. The lower four courses (E, A, D, G) are typically tuned in octaves, while the highest two (B and high E) are tuned in unison. This configuration produces a rich, shimmering tone with natural chorusing, making it ideal for rhythm playing and adding depth to recordings. Popular in folk, rock, and pop music, 12-strings have been famously used by artists like George Harrison, Roger McGuinn, and Jimmy Page. They require more finger strength and careful tuning, but reward the player with a uniquely full and resonant sound.
Acoustic guitars are beloved for their rich, natural sound that requires no amplification, making them perfect for intimate settings, songwriting, and practice. Available in various shapes and sizes—from full-bodied dreadnoughts to smaller parlour and travel models—they offer diverse tonal qualities to suit different playing styles. This category includes steel-string and classical guitars, along with accessories like cases, strings, and picks, providing everything you need to enjoy the pure, resonant tones of acoustic playing.
