The Applause AB2412-5S Traditional Series Mid Depth 12-String acoustic-electric guitar gives you shimmering 12-string tone and easy playability. Its mid-depth Lyrachord body provides balanced resonance while remaining lightweight and the selected spruce top rings out with crisp articulation.

Resonant 12-String Tone

With its pairing of a spruce top and Lyrachord back and sides, the AB2412-5S produces a tone that is both shimmering and well-defined. The spruce top provides clarity and projection, while the Lyrachord body adds warmth and resonance. Together they create the jangling, chiming 12-string sound that guitarists love. The scalloped X-bracing gives the top enough flexibility and support to ring freely. Whether strumming chords or picking melodies, you'll appreciate this guitar's acoustic richness.

Slim, Comfortable Neck

The AB2412-5S neck has a slim profile that feels familiar and fast. Its nato construction provides stability to handle the increased tension of 12 strings while still being lightweight. The ovangkol fingerboard has a smooth feel under your fingers. A 1.875" nut width gives each of the 12 strings enough space to vibrate freely without feeling cramped. The scale length of 25.3" results in balanced string tension for comfortable playing. Overall, this neck design minimizes hand fatigue so you can focus on your music.
