12-String Acoustic Guitars

An acoustic 12-string guitar has 12 strings arranged in six doubling courses. It has a deeper, warmer sound and is played in the same manner as a regular six-string acoustic guitar.

Because some of the strings of 12-string acoustic guitars are doubled in octaves, special strings are needed. The bottom four strings of the D’Addario XT Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, for instance, are doubled in octaves when purchased. This explains the rich tone of the 12-string acoustic guitar.

The number of strings distinguishes six-string and 12-string acoustic guitars from one another. Because each string course is doubled, just like on a mandolin, 12-string acoustic guitars have twice as many strings. You can play and tune a 12-string acoustic guitar precisely like you would a six-string.

Many of the pickups used on six-string acoustic guitars can also be used on 12-string models. These pickups include soundhole, contact, and undersaddle pickups, as well as the tiny condenser microphones that are mounted either inside or outside of acoustic guitars.

Twelve-string acoustic guitar bridges include two staggered rows of pins instead of the single row of six pins seen on six-string acoustic guitars in order to handle twelve strings.
