Frequently Asked Questions
Is the neck on a 12-string harder to play?
Takamine designs their 12-string necks with a slim profile to make them as comfortable as possible, though the nut width is naturally wider to accommodate the extra strings.
Does this guitar come with a tuner?
Yes, the onboard TP-4TD preamp includes a high-accuracy chromatic tuner, which is essential for keeping a 12-string instrument perfectly in tune.
Can I use standard acoustic strings?
You must use dedicated 12-string acoustic sets. We recommend D'Addario EXP38 Coated Phosphor Bronze strings for long-lasting tone and stability.
