#vangoa #12stringguitar #acoustic
I had recently picked this same 12 string for 80$ the string buzz made this unplayable, however a quick trip to my local guitar shop , the owner fixed the bow with finess, tested it and the metal parts between the frets were lifted, used these wooden blocks and what looked like a two pronged rod that made a clean hum . Guy is fairly aged but knew what to do it plays great!! Great buy!
I bought the same guitar for 80 too i think i have the same problem it sounds a little weird plus the strings are a little thin. Thanks for everything.
@@einermeza6400 its a simple fix dont fret (get it? Ehehh) take it to your local guitar shop, let them play it and they should know what needs to be done. at best 10 bucks . Ive learned to appreciate both 6 and 12 string each having their place its a good guitar, the strings it comes with are bad though they should be changed for a good sound
I received a vangoa 12 string for Christmas. I was highly impressed by the look and the finish. I found no flaws in body or neck finish. After a bit of tuning with included tuner, I was up and running. The set up from factory was beautiful. And 12 string guitars are not easy to play. I highly recommend these guitars, they sound great and don't break the bank to own one.
I agree Dave. Thanks for watching.
I've never owned or even played a 12 string but this sounds nice. Playing electric for 30 years, maybe it's time to try something new. Great demo and tuning session, lol! I always wondered about it and it doesn't look to hard
Peyote Pete tuning is easy and this guitar sounds great.
Did you do it? If not, DO IT! :D
Are these good for requintos and corridos?
Update- I bought one it’s pretty good for the price 8/10 would recommend
add me on insta?
Emmanuel Cruz i haven’t bought it but I’m thinking about it to make a song
Emmanuel Cruz my ig is p.g_david
Yea it’s good but you’re gonna have to change the strings .

Keep the capo because it has a peg remover slot that comes in handy with twelve of them.
Wow, I might have to get this. Thanks for the review!
Glad it was helpful. I have an amazon link in the description if you want to help support the channel. This is a great guitar overall and sounds cool for recording.
Just got one of these two months ago 100% agree with this review it is descent guitar for the price note always tune down your twelve spring guitar s after playing to relieve tension on the lower body to help with future bubbling/bellying
Excellent presentation! Thank you so much for helping the music community. I think those "dislikers" must be pulling your leg. Thank you again. Hi from Tucson!
Thanks for watching.
Turning knobs were really tight and cheap. Tuning up, my G string broke, so I got the strings replaced, and the guitar store was telling me all about the other issues about how the knobs were way to close together, the fretboard was dipping into the tuning hole, and the bridge was falling off; after one day of play. I tried tuning up again, and the low D string broke. So I went and bought me an Ibanez 12 string for around $350. It's a bit more expensive, but it is a name brand that I can trust not to fall apart on me. Was hoping this was going to be a good 12 string for my collection, but ended up just failing on me. Wasn't even worth selling back or selling to others. Now it sits in my garage as a wooden paperweight. Your review was good though, and you made it sound better than mine ever did.
When did you buy the guitar? I just got mine recently and it works great. Sorry for your experience. Maybe better luck next time.

Louis Bevans- i’ll pay you to ship it to me if you still have it!

Great review . I've been looking in to 12 string guitars lately and this definitely helps. Thanks!
Where did you go to high school? That name sounds familiar
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios go Aggies!
@@killowat13 I thought that was you. thanks for inspiring me to pick up the guitar. Still playing 26 years later.
@Doctor McFarland Studios glad you stuck with it ! I enjoy your videos keep them coming.
I don't know what it would feel like in the hands, but for the price, I must say this guitar looks very, very good indeed. As a lefty, I would really like to be able to find one of these and give it a go.
It plays very well. Let me know if you end up getting it. Consider using my Amazon affiliate link in the description.
Nice job on this review; thanks!
The capo: You should have tried moving it back a little away from the fret you had it behind, to see whether it would hold any better.
That said, I agree that it looks non-12-string-ready. A 12 needs a stronger capo than what would work fine on a 6; that one doesn't appear to have that extra firmness. And its failure to match the lateral curve of the fretboard, is a deal-breaker.
I'd also recommend getting a hard-shell case to use for travel, rather than that soft gig-bag. Is there such a case on the market that's tailored to fit this guitar?
Fred
When you pick up or down push the pick lightly against the string beside it and hold it on the string preventing that string from playing and it won't vibrate. It will help to have a good tuning of each individual string. Use a light pick when playing that flexible pick will hit both strings at once
That is a good tip.
For the money, I much prefer the D'Angelico Premier Fulton LS-12 string at $249.99 from Sweetwater or wherever else it's available. I like the mahogany satin finish and comes in aged mahogany and satin vintage sunburst.It's very cool looking too.
That is a good brand
Currently, I don't have a 12 string and I was shopping around when I found the D'Angelico for $250. What I really want is a 6/12 double neck acoustic!@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios
Hey man nice review. Do you think this guitar can handle the pressure of two normal strings instead of the octaves or would it be too much pressure for the guitar?
I don't see why it would be an issue.
The nut and saddle grooves would be too narrow. The tuning could be an issue and the extra tension certainly would. Maybe try it on an old beater, with very light strings. Let us know!
So is it fine to put two normal strings ?
As I understand it, the gauge of each string is supposed to bring it to the correct pitch with equal tension on every string, so if you duplicate each main string with an identical unison string, rather than a thinner gauge octave string, the tension shouldn't be an issue, like the Doc says.
Of course, to do that, you'd need to buy two 6-string packs of strings, because I don't think any 12-string sets would give you the collection you'd need.
However, like Mark points out, the grooves the strings pass through, won't fit the "fatter" strings you'd need to do this.
Fred
@UCHSOYMgCZnUA5zZ7ksP0DRQ
The High G String is the highest string on these Guitars so they use a .009 (or thinner) to minimize its tension. Octave4Plus went up to a High B via .006 High B String.
I think for 200.00 this is one hell of a buy. it looks pretty nice quality it sounds good. and hey its a 12 string. I think I gonna grab one myself.
It does play great. Please click my link to help support the channel.
So many CAPO users, teachers too, say to install the capo tool directly between any two frets, on the guitars finger board.
The method used here is to the extreme opposite. I'd reccomend trying the capo, or even a different brand capo - DIRECTLY between TWO frets Tight and STRAIGHT onto the FRET BOARD. 👍✅💯🎵🤷
You mean mid-way between frets? I've found it can help to try different placements between frets; but if the capo just isn't strong enough, there's no placement that will work.
The apparent weakness of this capo, and on top of that, its failure to match the lateral curve of the fretboard, make it wrong for this guitar.
Fred
Gracias bro
Do you think the strings are high (need to press stronger to sound out) ? If yes do you think it can be adjusted only using the Allen key ? Thanks
Silvio Fragata da Silva mine came setup perfectly out of the box. The neck can be adjusted easily though.
There is one strap button on the back of the heel. Where is the second strap button? The company doesn't show a second one in the details of the guitar.
I noticed when you were tuning up your guitar using the tuner you had it in G mode, aren't you supposed to use chromatic mode for 12 string guitars.? 🤔 Just saying.
Nanaur Bizness777 while changing setups Im sure I just hit the button one too many times. I have it is chromatic mode normally.
I just got one today they upgraded the capo 2021it's well worth the money
It’s a decent guitar for sure.
Sounds great
Durability, can I expect this guitar to last with proper care and humidification during dry months ?
The only bad thing about cheaper 12 strings is that they tend to be hard to play, and have a high action
I believe that bridge lifting is quite a norm with these. But I don't think it is that bad because you can tune it 1 or half step down. It used to be a norm for 12 strings in the 70s. Plus you can glue it back.
hello friend I greet you from Guatemala I had some doubts since I plan to compare one of these guitars I play what has been regional Mexican and in that style they are only played with a 12-string guitar and I wanted to ask you if this guitar can or can withstand putting double strings , that is to say, put 2 packages of 6 strings on the 12-string guitar and forget about the octaves, do I explain myself? since that's how they are used in that style
another question, does the bridge have some kind of reinforcement?
That would probably be too much pressure on the bridge.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios I plan to put reinforcements on the bridge, what worries me is the arm or mast
what do you think?
Alot of the reviews say the bridge is lifting slightly and they shown pictures as well does yours lift? should i take a chance on this? does it stay in tune ? im debating this or the janerock 12 string
Well mine for some reason the brigde lowers so I have to lift the brigde almost every month but overall the guitar sounda good for country music or corridos
@@Milianotouge i bought it for corridos too 🤤
@@EnvyOw dam that sick I play cover reqiuntos from Ariel camacho, some Eslabon Armando, and other
@@Milianotouge eslabon armado 🔥
I wanna buy one but im kindaa sketched out i bought a acoustic guitar and the strings were like an inch from the fret thingy(sorry im a beginner) and the bridge was falling off,idk if i should bc i really want it
This is a solid guitar but I wouldn't use it as a beginner since the fretboard is wider. I would start off on a regular 6 string guitar and go from there.
So I found one of these exact guitars at a local Music Store in Excellent Condition with the gig bag and most of the accessories missing, what would be a fair price for Used ?
I want to buy one of these left-handed but there has been a lot of comments saying the bridge is lifting off of these guitars. Have you had any problems personally with this? Thank you
Hi Quentin, I will be reviewing the new version of this guitar this week. The bridge is more stable and has a much better finish.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios thanks for the quick response back! Im gonna order one for Christmas regardless, but I was just curious. Thank you and I will be looking out for your new video.

Have you had any issues with this particular guitar since its been 2 years now?
@@quentinneace8930 No I haven't
Love the Tom Petty songs haha
The first song I ever learned to play was Free Fallin because it only had 3 chords :)
Can I play corridos on this guitar???
Yeah but buy sum elixer strings and put them in pairs don’t use the strings it comes with
@@eljovany8370 and do I have to tune it so it can sound good for requintos or can I just play it how it regularly came
@@eljovany8370 and thank you bro appreciate it
@@El_JUno yeah bro always tune it or else it won’t sound good
They haven’t been in stock for a minuite
My tuner keeps changing note and it dosnt want to do the thing
Bruh imagine he played some Mexican songs when he started playing, I would’ve lost it💀💀
Are you referring to me in third person? haha
Shouldn’t the thin g string be tuned a octave higher?
Depends on how thick the string is.
It is.
Decuantas pulgadas es la guitarra??
Hola
Yo tengo una la compré apenas
God used a 12 string a lot. Most famously on Stairway.
King David also played many stringed instruments :)
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios yeah,but everyone is under God!😁
Are they Chinese,sounds a good deal to me
Yes they are
@UCHSOYMgCZnUA5zZ7ksP0DRQ
This seems like a good 12 String Guitar kids can play when they're learning the Guitar.
I’m having trouble trusting these guitars because last time I ordered a guitar from Amazon the wood lifted up
Some say its hit or miss but you do get what you pay for. Spending a little extra for a Yamaha or Takamine would be ideal.
It's way out of tune!
Which string do you think?
Their capo suck. Get a 12 string Keyser
yeah its really not that great.
@@DoctorMcFarlandStudios I watched some videos with the guitar because I thought a won a Vangoa 12 string but a scam. Typical world we live in. But I just got a AC340 OPN, polished the frets, put D'addario 11 gauge XS love those strings you gotta try them, changed the nut to widen the string spacing, conditioned the all hog acoustic and setup. Got an AAD 140 OPN doing the same to it in three days. You want a really nice inexpensive guitar.
Look them up
