Description
The Cimar Acoustic 12-string (1981) is a testament to the rich, resonant sound that only a vintage instrument can provide. Crafted in the early 80s, this guitar embodies the era's dedication to quality craftsmanship and tonal excellence. Whether you're an enthusiast of 12-string guitars or a collector of vintage instruments, the Cimar offers a distinctive, full-bodied sound that has been cherished by musicians for decades.
This guitar features a traditional dreadnought body shape, which enhances its volume and projection, making it suitable for both solo performances and ensemble settings. Its 12-string configuration creates a naturally chorus-like effect, producing lush, harmonic-rich tones that fill any room. The soundboard is crafted from select tonewoods, ensuring a balanced resonance across all frequencies, while the neck provides smooth playability, perfect for both fingerpicking and strumming.
Given its vintage status, the Cimar Acoustic 12-string has matured beautifully over time, with its sound deepening and improving as the wood has aged. This guitar is not only a historical piece but also a reliable instrument for everyday use, offering a blend of nostalgia and functionality that is hard to find in modern guitars.

Great Sound!
Die Gitarre ist von 1981 und kostete damals 281,00 DM. Seitdem hat es sich bezahlt gemacht, dass sie einen Mahagoni-Hals hat, der sich bis heute keinen Millimeter verzogen hat. Auch nach Monaten der Abstinenz hole ich die Gitarre aus dem Koffer und muss sie noch nicht mal nachstimmen (zuletzt waren es mal drei Jahre!) Das Einzige, was ihr fehlt, ist ein ordentliches Tonabnehmersystem. Ich habe mal vor vielen Jahren eines der ersten Piez-System unter der Brücke eingebaut; es tut seine Arbeit, aber heutzutage gibt es bessere.
