Epiphone DR-212 Acoustic Guitar, 12-String, Natural

+ The guitar is absolutely beautiful. The color in the picture provided may be off from the one you buy, though. The pickguard is actually a nice dark red, as is the back of the body and neck.
+ The tuners are great. Very solid.
+ The action is pretty good for a 12 string.
+ Sounds wonderful!
+ Well packaged. I'm always a little worried when it comes to buying stuff online. I've had bad experiences in the past, but this wasn't one of them. Absolutely no damage at all!
+ Shipment was very fast. I ordered it on Friday and received it at my front door on Tuesday.

- The bridge pins were really stuck down in there. I quickly broke a string by trying to tune it. I'm not sure if it was because of the pins, but it probably didn't help.

This epiphone has an amazing sound for under [...] bucks. I've been playing off and on now for about 7 years. I'm not the most experienced or talented guitar player, that's for sure, but I'm no slouch either. This is my first 12 string that I've purchased and I'm pretty happy with it. It has a great full, rich quaulity sound. It's going to take time to get used to picking it after playing a 6 string, but amazingly the action isn't too much different from a 6 string and you don't have to press as hard as you might think for bars chords or just plain old chords. It's a great looking guitar too. It's a 9 out of 10. I'm sure there are better 12 strings out there, but not for this price.

I've had this guitar for over a month now and I absolutely love it! For starters, it is a great looking instrument. And then you play it....And it has an absolutely beautiful sound. I am more than satisfied with this purchase! Not to mention that it is less than $200. It's practically a steal for that price.
