MGR/Stone « Ibanez PF 10-12 »
Published on 02/06/02 at 15:00I bought the guitar at a pawn shop in Provo, Utah for $150 with a soft case. I already have two 6-string acoustics and have wanted a 12-string for some time, but did not want to pay a lot.
I love the 12-string sound. Although it is a little harder to play that a 6-string, I've had fun with it for the two weeks I've had it. It has great volume and sustain. The wood is in quite good shape for an older model, just a few belt scratches on the back.
The only things I don't like are;
the sound is a little too treble for me, but that really works for certain songs
and
the neck is so wide I have a little trouble getting around it for some more complex chords. But I assume most 12-strings have a similar neck and it's just the nature of the beast.
Surprisingly good construction and finish. The action is low, the fit is good. It holds it's tune very well, something I was worried about with 12 tuners to fiddle with. The wood on the back and sides I think is dark mahogany and it's beautiful.
It was just what I wanted and at the price I wanted to spend. If it gets broken, I would be sad, but have little reason to cry because it was so cheap. I hope I can get good enough to play some real 12-string classics like Turn, Turn, Turn.
