The Brunswick Electro-Acoustic 12-String Guitar offers rhythm guitarists, folk performers, and acoustic musicians an expansive, room-filling soundscape designed for both unplugged practice and amplified live performance. Combining classic 12-string octave-and-unison resonance with an intuitive onboard active preamp system, this Auditorium-shaped model delivers a rich, shimmering chorus voice that fills out arrangements effortlessly on stage or in the studio.
By pairing a responsive soundboard with player-focused body proportions and complete EQ control, this instrument provides an accessible, high-performing platform for guitarists looking to step up their acoustic capabilities.
Resonant Spruce Soundboard and Sapele Body
At the foundation of the guitar's natural projection is a spruce top, selected for its broad dynamic range, crisp note definition, and direct attack. The spruce soundboard allows the complex harmonic overtones of twelve steel strings to ring out with distinct clarity, ensuring chord progressions remain articulate across every register.
Complementing the top, sapele mahogany back and sides provide warm mid-range support and foundational acoustic resonance. A full gloss finish seals the tonewoods, shielding the body against light surface wear while letting the soundboard vibrate freely.
Auditorium Ergonomics and Protective Binding
The Auditorium body shape strikes a practical balance between broad acoustic volume and physical playing comfort. Featuring a 47 cm body length, a pinched waist, and a rounded 38.2 cm lower bout, the instrument rests naturally against the body whether playing seated or standing on stage.
A manageable body depth ranging from 9.9 cm at the upper bout to 10.3 cm at the lower bout helps manage lower-frequency boom, allowing the instrument's high-end shimmer to take centre stage. Protective body binding rims the edges, shielding the tonewood joints against accidental bumps during transport and daily use.
Multi-Band Onboard Preamp with Integrated LED Tuner
When it is time to connect to an acoustic amplifier, audio interface, or venue PA system, the integrated active preamp system delivers a clean, high-headroom signal. The control panel features a 4-band EQ layout with dedicated Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence sliders, giving guitarists precise tonal control to adapt to different venue acoustics.
An integrated LED display tuner allows for fast, accurate pitch checks directly on instrument, keeping all twelve strings perfectly tuned. A dedicated phase button helps control unwanted low-frequency acoustic feedback when performing at higher stage volumes.
12-String Playability and Reliable Hardware Specs
Fretting double-strung courses feels comfortable and structured thanks to a generous 49 mm nut width, which provides ample string separation across the frets to prevent accidental muting. A standard 25.4" (64.6 cm) scale length provides familiar string tension, while a modern 16" (40.6 cm) fingerboard radius offers a flat, consistent surface for smooth chording.
On the headstock, enclosed die-cast machine heads protect the internal tuning gears from dust and grit. Their smooth gear ratio holds pitch dependably under the increased tension of twelve strings, ensuring stable performance throughout every set.
