Not bad

I use thin strings(9-10), play in CGCGCE and my guitar have short distance between strings and guitar neck, so i have no pain when i play. Sometimes it sounds as a royal grand piano) very very. And sometimes it sounds sad. But piezo pickup in her is awful. Maybe it's just me.. i don't know. My mark is 4\5

Sound and Pain

This thing does sound kind of good but man, it's so freaking uncomfortable to play. It definitely brings you more pain than joy, but if it's just for one or two songs in your set, give it a try. This is one big and loud 12-string. I didn't use the XLR-Plug but maybe you find that useful. It has a "normal" 1/4" as well.
