i bought one and like it a lot, can't be beaten for the money its just great. make sure to use light gauge strings or you will damage it. I tune mine to open D its fantastic for the blues.
exactly what im buying it for
I just ordered my HB 12 string. Can't wait.
what do you think?
@@Julius-vz7pb regrettably it was severely damaged in transit and was returned to sender. Pretty pissed, because then it was on backorder.
I ended up buying a different acoustic altogether but I was so happy with it, I know I'll order the 12 string again and hope for the best
@@nieze damn, what guitar did you get next?
I'm undecided between cort, fender and this harley
@@Julius-vz7pb I bought the Harley Benton CLD-60SCE TB
Since the 1st never made it, I needed to test the shipping. I live on a small island in the Pacific and wanted to test the waters before getting larger more exotic gear.
Everything shipped well. Now to pick my next guitar. Some many to choose.
Jack, just remember ladies LOVE 12 string guitars! I'm sold!!
I’ve heard that 🍻
gues not here in germany...sadly
@@F-Andre wonderwall is key
How's the guitar held up over time in terms of neck and soundboard stability? Great video!
It’s a nice review, it you should have let us hear how it sounds plugged in also.
Great playing and a Gorgeous sounding guitar...incredible quality as well. Mine arrives in a few days! 🙂 Just one question, are they the .010 strings?
Fantastic …man!
Do you think i can use 13 guage strings on this guitar and tune It to Baritone tuning and itll be fine?
Hello, What about the building quality and materials? Basses are good? Honestly I don't like this kind of glossy varnish specially rear on the neck. Guitar is not a car! But the price is really cheap.
Well, I'd think very carefully. Mine arrived and looked beautifully finished cosmetically and solid. However, I found intonation problem and action way to high. I had my suspicions regardinmg corrective set up which is proved correct. The neck is so tight that it is at its adjustable limit and there is no relief. (no bow). To loosen it would mean an even higher action. The saddle is at its lowest point with no room left for adjustment. The intonation resolution means a longer string length adjustment is necessary, the neck is at maximum straight and the saddle is at max angle for length. In other words everything is at max with no room to adjust string length, fretboard hight, saddle height etc etc. I've had the guitar six months and return seems a ball ache if I could return it. (I'm in UK, seller/manufacturer is in Germany and I took my time getting around to sorting it out). So this leads me to a very expensive solution. eg. Choice, remove neck and adjust joint. Or remove Bridge and replace with new as the current design is not conducive to alteration ie It is at max too...... So, I'm going for a complete bridge replacement. For the cost I could have bought a more expensive better quality guitar in the first place...... So for me, the guitar looks nice but with zero comfortable playability and sound.
Seems like a nice guitar. My favorite 12-string acoustic guitar is my Martin D 45 12-string. I also have an Epiphone DR 212.
Very nice. The one I use personally is a Martin DM12. Martins are my favorite acoustics.
@@JackFossett Okay. Here's my video about my Martin D 45 12: ua-cam.com/video/1sjcLGOyY7c/v-deo.html
How is the Epiphone 12 string? Worth the money?
@@petestaint8312 It's a good 12 for beginners, but not as good as my Martin D 45 12-string.
nice
Any idea how this compares to the Yamaha FG820-12 or any of the other cheaper 12 strings?
I haven't played the others but my guess would be right on par -- in fact, as far as I know, many of the cheaper guitars come from the same factories and get licensed out to brands, so the build and tone qualities will be fairly similar.
@@JackFossett Thanks I ended up buying a Breedlove Pursuit 12 string, smaller body that will likely be more playable for me... Now if I could just do it some justice in playing.
No mention of the price which is an all important factor relative to playability and sound
Thanks for your comment! I leave out prices most of the time because they’re subject to change, and it’s so easy to do a google search and find out what they currently are. Appreciate the feedback though!
Good point Jack, indeed the prices will vary considerably in different countries as well [I am in Thailand and they impose a hefty import tax on most things coming in from the States]
@@markknopflerisnot Hey! I'm in Thailand too! I have a beautiful custom 12 string guitar from UK. You can get reasonable cheap 12 srtrings online at Lazada or Aliexpress. Where are you in Thailand? I'm near Padumthani about 45 kms north of BKK.
pretty cool!
How do you think it compares to a guild westerly 12?
I have not played the Westerly, although I used to own a Guild GAD12. Although mine was somewhat of a lemon and essentially cracked and imploded. That being said, in general, compare HB guitars to guitars that cost about 30-40% more.
I could not hear the bass...it's more on the treble side..
No 12 string is going to give you bass tone. Bass tones is not not a 12 string's calling card. It's chiming tones.
Guild 12 string sounds berrer
...and it's more than double the price
Not doing it for me,,, to chimey,,,
Wtf haha
Worst comment ever. hahaha
thats what a 12 string is made for dumbass lmao
💀
you do know that's what a 12 string does? tell me you know nothing about guitars without telling me.
