Nice 12-String for limited play.

For those of us not named Roger McGuinn, a 12-string is something we only use when playing a Byrds song, or maybe Hotel California by the Eagles. I’ve owned two Martin 12-Strings that sounded great and played tough. This Ovation sounds good (doesn’t ring like a Martin) but plays incredibly easy for a 12-string.
