The "Ravenswood 12" by Ravenswood Guitars™ ( a new specialty brand by Hanson Guitars) is a solid Mahogany, set-neck designed electric 12 string featuring a full 12-saddle tuneomatic bridge, compact headstock, and 3, 60s era specific single-coil pickups with a 5 way selector switch. The neck width is 1-11/16" at the nut providing a familiar but un-crowded string spacing, making it one of the most comfortable playing electric 12 strings on the market today.
The pickups contain 44 gauge wire coated with heavy formvar wound to a 7.5K & 7.8K Ohm vintage spec; reproducing the classic "chimey" and "jangley" tone heard on so many great recordings from the 60s through today. Tonally this guitar occupies a sonic range that most electric 6 string guitars can't reproduce, making it a very welcome and pleasing addition at a gig or recording session.
Since it's a compact solid instrument with a non-extended headstock, the Ravenswood 12 will fit into a traditional gig bag or double gig bag so you'll no longer have to decide whether or not to take it along. Behold, your new secret weapon! Play it clean, compress it, overdrive it, fuzz it up, crank it, no feed back issues here!
The Ravenswood 12 is thoughtfully appointed with features that are important to the working professional musician and is extremely affordable.
