best 12 string acoustic electric guitar

Most listings are for right-handed 12-string acoustic-electrics; at least one listing specifically notes a left-handed model, so left-handed options exist but are less common.

Common fingerboard and bridge woods listed include pau ferro, ovangkol, ebony and rosewood across the described models.

Power options vary by model: some listings note that a battery is required (or that a battery is optional/not included), at least one listing specifies no battery is used, and one listing references an optional/not-included 9‑Volt lithium‑ion battery.

Tops are frequently listed as solid spruce or solid mahogany. Back and sides are commonly described as flame maple or mahogany in the available listings.

Many amplified models include built-in tuners and EQ controls. Some preamps also add notch filters or explicit feedback-control circuitry to reduce unwanted squealing at higher volumes.
