You may remember my first purchase of a 6-string Coronado, which I have absolutely fallen in love with. I knew at that point that I wanted a 12-string version of the Coronado. I hadn't found many reviews of the 12-string, but I read reviews of the chrome-top pickup version of the Coronado, mostly which were poor because the pickups are underpowered. THAT, however, is exactly what you want for a 12-string, so I figured it would be perfect.
Here is a picture from the seller, it's pretty much exactly like my 6-string version:
I've only had a few minutes with the guitar, and I had to relocate the bridge because it got way off center in shipping, but the low power pickups sound better than I imagined. The long string length behind the bridge combined with the 12-strings and pickups sound like it has just a bit of chorus and reverb on it. Sparkly and delicate with a nice blend of string voice and that wall of sound that comes with non-magnetic pole pickups.
I'll be taking some pictures of guitars to sell soon, so I'll get some nice pictures of this up soon, too.
I also promised previously to do sound samples of the 6-string Coronado, but haven't gotten around to it. Now that I have more than one guitar to do, I promise to get around to it.
