Ibanez AEG1812II AEG 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Dark Violin Sunburst

Buying for a musician is very difficult. I knew he would love the look of it, and he did!! But I was worried about the sound. He said it had a beautiful sound, the tone is gorgeous, and the neck is very comfortable.Totally worth the money!

I have always loved the sound of a 12 string acoustic, but for some reason, my only 12 string was an Ovation double neck 6/12 acoustic guitar. Great sound but very bulky and not much fun to play for extended periods.I decided to get myself a 12 string acoustic, and grabbed this one since I tend to lean towards Ibanez to begin with. I wasn't disappointed. Nice sweet sound, stays in tune, I couldn't be happier. And that price can't be beat. I doubt you'll find a better one near this price range.

I give this a four star instead of a five solely because the plastic piece the 9volt battery sits in that slides in and out was broken when it arrived. Other than that I have absolutely no complaints. It looks good, it sounds even better and the cost wasn't that bad neither so I would say this turned out to be a very good buy. I was very hesitant at first cause its tough to buy things off of Amazon like a guitar when you haven't actually heard it, seen it or played it in person. I took a chance by only reading the reviews and because it had such good reviews (well for the most part, you can't please everyone no matter how hard you try) I ordered it. Sure am glad I did.

I was hesitant to drop 300 on it but its amazing best 12 for under 400$. in my opinion love the finish action can be stiff at first recommend buying new strings with it. built in tuner works great and pulled it sounds great too.

Always worried when ordering a guitar from online. When delivered, it was shipped in the Ibanez box only, i think guitars should be double boxed. That's the only downside. Other than that it is in beautiful condition and was set up nice. Tuned it up no additional adjustments needed. Really good value!!!

I was expecting the unplugged sound to be thin with the narrower body description, but it is very full and sounds great. The action is good if you aren’t playing above the 12th fret. I think it may need a slight neck adjustment. Very pleased.

Plays pretty well, not the best, I've got a lot of fret buzz with mine, been adjusting the neck over a period of time, trying to adjust that out, going to have a professional setup done and see if my guitar guy can make any improvements on it. Has a good preamp and tuner, nice finish however the top has a slight hump behind the bridge and slightly warped on one side of the sound hole, Its slight, you have to be looking at it in the right light but for $300 I would expect a little better. Sounds decent, better plugged in that not which I've heard other people comment on, but my intention was to record with it in which case I plan to use it plugged in.Addendum as of 3/2021Had a professional setup done, played awesome for about a month, turned this cheaper guitar into a real player, just amazing! Now as some time has passed Ive noticed the neck has been moving around (a lot) and its been getting slowly worse. For that reason it has also been sitting idle for a while. Picked it up today and its unplayable from the 10th fret up, strings are dead and no adjustment of the neck seems to be able to remove the fret buzz. Ill never by another Ibanez acoustic AGAIN, I played a $50 Harley Benton that was of better quality than this POS. I expect a little neck movement and adjusting being needed from time to time, but not this much. What a waste of money.

Guitar looks and sounds nice, the only issue I have so far is the frets are wider than the neck and scratching my hand as it slides across the neck. Will likely take a file to it to smooth them out, anyone elses notice this?

It needs some set-up of course, but a nice guitar.
