Mick & Danish Pete try fanned fret acoustics

[dingobass]

Those fan fretted guits sounded very trebley and lacked projection, but will deffo track one down and have a strum as it may sound better in the flesh.

Be interested to see if they have a solid top or, like a lot of import Acoustics, a laminated top.

Nice tones coming out of that axe Zandit and really liked how the chorus effect of the octave higher strings sounded on those middle ones rather than 2 more of the same gauge on the high B & E. Presume it is fairly easy on the fingers too? Last acoustic 12 stringer I had was an early 80's yammy. Sounded great when it was in tune but mostly played root chords as I hadn't discovered a capo back then. Sounded rubbish on barre chords but that have been more the player not the guitar's fault.

Thanks Waz, most appreciated. The added octave strings give the chords a much fuller sound, and that is why I tracked one of these down. Every other 12 string I played had a real jangly sound to it, and I wasn't after that, but was actually after something different for an acoustic sound.
I don't really notice any issues with playing it, or swapping over to my Maton straight away either. The neck is fractionally wider, but it's barely noticeable.

As mentioned, the body shape is identical to the 8-string I have, and the sustain is insane. Standard Emajor chord rings forever.
Unplugged it is not the best from the players point of view, but sitting in front of someone else playing it, it sounds very full.
Plugged in is where this guitar really shines. The Fishman Sonicore pickup is awesome.

BTW, just as confirmation, the back and sides are Laminated, the top is solid.
