12 String Electric Guitars

12 String Electric Guitars are a stunning addition to the conventional electric guitar landscape. There's really nothing quite like the sound of an electric 12 string. From those gorgeous, jangly single note sounds to rich, lush, huge strumming tones. If you want to expand your creativity, and this sounds like your kind of sound, then a 12 string electric guitar is definitely for you.

12 String electric guitars feature 2 strings together in a pair, in place of each one string on a conventional electric guitar, with the 4 lowest paired strings tuned to natural and an octave up, and the 2 highest strings tuned in unison pair. The result is a sound awash with overtones and resonance that sounds like nothing else. This sound has been lovingly utilised by a host of players across the spectrum of rock, including George Harrison, Jimmy Page and Roger McGuinn, all the way to Peter Buck of REM and Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth.
