took the risk, glad I did
I read the great reviews, saw the social media posts detailing the amount of quality control involved, and for the price I figured I would take the chance. I am glad I did, because the guitar exceeds expectations. It is gorgeous and well constructed, and the setup from the factory is spot on. It plays beautifully, and sounds great unplugged. Plugged in, it sounds like your standard piezo under saddle acoustic - which means it is usable. Great option for live playing. For the price, you're not going to do better.

Perfect price for a perfect 12 string!
At $400 this guitar has INCREDIBLE bang for your buck, it’s got a beautiful vintage look, sounds GREAT mic’d & plugged in live (which by the way, having a pickup on a 12 at this price point is unheard of!) I honestly can’t think of any gripes with my Austen 12!
