Dom in Dorset Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 It's time to get a better 12 string, I've been using a Stagg, I set it up nicely but the sound is a little "cheap". I'm on a budget so the Villager seems to be a good option at £300 [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/series/california/villager-12-string-cutaway-electric-solid-spruce-top-mahogany-back-and-sides-fishman-preamp-with-built-in-tuner"]http://www.fender.com/en-GB/series/california/villager-12-string-cutaway-electric-solid-spruce-top-mahogany-back-and-sides-fishman-preamp-with-built-in-tuner[/url] Anyone tried one?

JimBobTTD Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I had a [i][b]different[/b][/i] Fender 12 string which was rather poorly built. I think that there is a reason that Fender are the top dog when it comes to electric guitars and basses but hardly see a look-in when it comes to acoustics.

[/quote] Also known as 'Smurf Hat' headstocks over the pond, apparently. In any event, I like them too. Another reason why I am gas-ing for an Electric XII. Roll on the Squier re-issue.

Mykesbass Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'd check out some of the lesser name brands like Cort and Aria before making a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
