ESP LTL12NAT LTD TL-12 Natural 12-String Acoustic Resonant Chamber Guitar

A very stylish unique guitar, it is not made for playing acoustically, its more of an electric guitar with the output of an acoustic. A nice thin guitar i would say is like 3 inches wide. Very sastified purchase, the only thing i did not like is the stock pickup i found it somewhat cheap.I would also recommend some pickguards

This was featured as a lightning deal for Prime Day 2016. It was sold for $330, which was a $120 discount. I was very interested in this guitar as I hadn't played a 12-string in a few years, the last being a Yamaha acoustic model. When the package arrived, I realized that this is essentially an electric guitar with a small hole in the front. It cannot be played without some form of amplification as it is almost inaudible when played unplugged. When plugged in, it really does sound good though. Very clear and shimmering sound, for the small amount of time I could actually play it.The biggest problem however is that the neck is very thin and it's extremely awkward/hard to play this instrument. I tried my best to get the hang of it, but my hands continued to cramp up no matter what I did. I don't know if it was the setup but it just played terribly. The action seemed to be high, but it was just a chore to play. I tried tuning down a step as was recommended on some forums to relieve string tension but it still just didn't work. Also, my fingers would get some black/grey gunk on them when I played, I've never had this happen on a guitar before. I didn't want to change the strings for at least a month or so, and I don't know if it was due to bad strings or chemicals from the neck - just weird and gross.YMMV, but it was unplayable for me.

I've had my eye on this guitar since it's introduction, and jumped on it at the Prime Day price. I prefer to play 12 string (I have big fat fingers) and found it easy to play, with wide enough neck. My acoustic is a Seagull 12 string, and this compares favorably for playing ease. I like it better than my 335 clone. Sounds great plugged in, and loud enough to play without amp for a small room or practice.

God I love this guitar. It looks and sounds amazing. This is most defiantly a guitar that is not meant to be played unplugged, and will sound as quite and empty as a solid body electic when it is unplugged, but when you plug it in the guitar really comes to life!
