@@C_Stories A 12 string produces a much fuller sound than a 6 string. Almost like 2 guitars at once but not quite because of the tuning. It also reduces the "twangy" sound that many spruce top guitars make. For me, there is much less stress on the fingers because the pressure is spread out. If you are just learning I would suggest a standard 6 string first. Learn to play a bit before going to 12. If there is a guitar or music store near you check out the difference.
As a mexican and a fellow guitarist my self a 12 string is beutiful. And just a tip the correct way to play a 12 string is corridos tumbados, cumbias, or just corridos.
YES it is! You have to restring ALL guitars, some more than others. On 12 strings it's always the damn high G string that breaks it seems. I love those Earthwood Deluxe strings too! I like the Ultralights. I wouldn't cut all my strings at once though, but that is just my own preference. LOTS of pressure on that neck.
Have you tried Cort Guitars? They are amazing quality and probably make the Orangewood guitars in their factory ( as they also make Ibanez, PRS, and other big names ). But when you buy a Cort you save a lot on the brand name cost...
@@77guitarts22I agree. I use a Cort AD810-12E. It’s a pretty cheap guitar considering it’s build quality and sound. It sounds proper for a 12 string guitar. I bought it for about 250 bucks and it didn’t disappoint.
It is no harder than a six string. Buy set of 12 strings. Light gauge or extra, regular or medium is not recommended. You are pressing two strings at each point, Just like when you learned to play a six and had to ensure your finger only touched the string you were pressing? Now you have two strings, Twice as hard? Yes. It takes getting used to. Will your fingers bleed, almost always, until you develop calluses. The result is a most beautiful sounding melody of guitars out of one. Practice Baby! I was stuck on rhythm playing. I grew up on ballad bands and players. They were all good to me. Name one, he was good.
It would but you would probably want to get strings in pairs instead of octaves for that if you want to play requinto. There are also probably better guitars for regional Mexican music with a cutaway to help you reach lower on the fretboard if that’s what you want to do. It really depends on what style of guitar you like and how you want to play.
No one is wondering if it’s worth it to change the strings on a 12 string. That doesn’t even make sense. I am wondering how it sounds. The 2 chords that were strummed in this video sound awful. I am in the market for a 12 string and would love to hear an actual sound demo on this guitar.
Dude your going to need to play and buy one in person. If your serious about getting ANY GUITAR go play one at your local music store. It has to have a feeling that just calls you to it. Sounds hippy dippy but anyone serious about guitars will tell you this.
@@javierv.g.5231 country, blues, gospel, rock, and metal. I’m mainly a bass player. I want a 12 string mostly because my parents bought my brother one and never bought me one. It still pisses me off.

You know cutting the strings like that releases to much pressure of the neck at once why don’t you relieve the neck before anything else..I see that everyone i just take tension of first.
Doesn’t defeat the purpose, my 12 string takamine came with octaves and didn’t feel for it what so ever , paired with elixir nanoweb .10-.47 and sounds better than octaves by far
“Is it worth restringing a 12 stringing guitar” is such a brain dead question to ask. Like what do you think the answer to that would be? No? Never restring your instrument because it takes time? Wtf
Sorry, I had to ask: Who are all these confused Guitar owners asking whether re-stringing their guitar's is worth it? Holy crap, this thought made me laugh my a** off. Dude, if you own a guitar and play it, you are going to replace the strings. If you own the guitar but don't care, the question never comes into play. Now, taking into consideration the small subset of guitar owners that seldomly play enough to fully justify the small cost (relative to the cost of the guitar itself) of restringing their guitar. Well, the fact that I thought so much about this ad means that it was a success.
I've known several guitarists who, sadly, are terrified to change their strings. One of which performed with one for years at open mics. I mean I've had the broken end of a G string in my face next to my nose so I kinda get it...but that was under full tension while playing it 😂😂😂. So tuning should be scarier for them...but apparently not.
“ is it worth it to restring a 12 string guitar?” That’s a dumb question. Unless you want to have same strings on your whole entire life and have your guitar sound like shit.

Can yall imagine a 12 string Floyd 💀 you’d be tuning for years

12 string is still sold out on the website
Yep, I never knew the 12 string Acoustic Guitar live was that popular 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
dluna, ibañez, yamaha, takamine make very high quality 12 strings. 2 6-packs of nano web .10-.47 will sound beautiful
I play regional Mexican music on my 12 string guitar. We tune our strings in pairs instead of octaves and have our bridge reinforced.
Like a mandolin?
To keep your high G string from breaking, simply press the string at the sound hole BEFORE you play every time you pick the guitar up
As a mexican and a fellow guitarist my self a 12 string is beutiful. And just a tip the correct way to play a 12 string is corridos tumbados, cumbias, or just corridos.
And with paired strings! ¡Bien dicho mi amigo!
"These strings sound dull" *Proceeds to smash their guitar to smithereens* "That was good, bring me another"

I want a 12 string so bad their so good😫
As a bass player I do in fact like old strings sometimes. Depends on the genre.
Please start selling in Brazil. I love orangewood guitars, but they are very expensive to import these days. I wish you much success, guys!

The powerpeg by ernie ball has saved my life with 12 strings
Can we use the 12 strings guitar as 6 strings guitar 😂
Same concept nothing different
Yes you could put only 1 string on any guitar if you wanted
Look at king gizzard and the lizard wizard. They use 12 strings with 6 strings only
@@s-dew I mean i put the same set gage in pairs on mine, so it sounds like a 6 string on steroids.
Will you guys ever ship international!! I really want a guitar, but live in Aus!
It's one of my wish lists, but I don't have money or space for a legendary sounding instrument.

Maybe with elixirs once every year
Well u can use 6 only too
Is it hard to tune a 12-string guitar Aunt, are the two grouped strings tuned the same?
Auto clipping tuners make it a lot easier
Nah, the right way is to put paired strings on it instead of octaves 💯💯
Please, always restring your guitars. Take care of the strings that are on it, but understand that they wear out and will need to be replaced.
do you think you could make a cutaway version???
you guys think this guitar would work with mexican regional music ?
It would but you would probably want to get strings in pairs instead of octaves for that if you want to play requinto. There are also probably better guitars for regional Mexican music with a cutaway to help you reach lower on the fretboard if that’s what you want to do.

i need to restring my NEW 12 to unison’s string no octaves i have the pair but iam like man how do i do this
Strings rust and lose tone over time. It's a pain but it's worth it

Is it worth it? WTH?
If your guitar has old, dead strings: you could just leave them on forever. That’s an option. Right?
Restring 12 string is great but tuning 12 atrings is like 💀
You restring a 12 string guitar for the same reason you restring any other guitar. Now a good question would be, is it worth ot to restring a piano?
You know cutting the strings like that releases to much pressure of the neck at once why don’t you relieve the neck before anything else..I see that everyone i just take tension of first.
If they hadn't tuned them down first I can promise you they wouldn't be holding them during the cut 😂😂
How much are 12 strings?
Do y’all sell electric guitars?
Hey , can I order this , I’m
From India
how does it sound
How to order ?
Do y’all have left handed electric acoustic 12 string guitars ?
Homie just turn it the other way
Nah ,do make left handed guitars

Bro when the strings are meant to cut before packing and put new strings ,so just don't put strings before u could've saved a lot of money
You don't know what you're talking about
How is that a real question? 😅
Do you think the guitar can handle 2 pairs of regular gauge strings?
Why though? That kinda defeats the purpose
Doesn’t defeat the purpose, my 12 string takamine came with octaves and didn’t feel for it what so ever , paired with elixir nanoweb .10-.47 and sounds better than octaves by far
Is it worth it to restring a 12-string? Wtf Is the alternative, buy a new one?
Can you use normal strings on a 12 string? Like putting normal b strings on the high A, D, and G? Thanks.
Please don't cut those strings if possible, rather please post them to me, I'll pay the postage
Nah because tf why you cut the strings you could've saved them
Tell everyone that you have never had a guitar, without telling everyone, that you have never had a guitar
It’s not a lot of work how the fuck is that work, it takes patience and not having the attention span of a goldfish
