Description
Twelve strings mean twice the shimmer, and the CD-140SCE delivers that lush, layered sound in a package built for gigging musicians. The solid spruce top drives the tone with plenty of headroom, while Ovangkol back and sides add warmth and depth without muddying the chime that 12-strings are known for. It’s housed in a single-cutaway dreadnought body, so you get full-bodied projection along with easy access to the upper frets when a solo calls for it.
The neck is designed to feel approachable despite the extra strings, making chord shapes and fretting hand transitions less of a wrestling match than you might expect from a 12-string. Aesthetic touches like the tortoiseshell pickguard and walnut headcap give it a classic, understated look that pairs well with the walnut fingerboard.
Plugging in is where this guitar really earns its keep. An upgraded Fishman CD preamp system captures the natural resonance of the instrument and translates it faithfully through a PA or amp, so you’re not stuck sounding thin or brittle once you leave the living room. Whether you’re layering it under a six-string for recording or using it as a standalone rhythm voice live, the electronics keep things sounding like an acoustic guitar rather than an approximation of one.
