Once in awhile while during research on a product before you buy, you come across a GEM. Well for guitar owners, this is one to add to your collection.
The company is family run in Nashville, TN and is trying to get thier name out by producing outstanding but affordable products for new musicians and professionals alike. Backed by great one-on-one customer service and support by an AMERICAN company who could go wrong? I say, lets support the small businesses of america.
I have a Copley CA-7 that I will never give up. Here's my summary. SOLID WOOD CEDAR TOP, SOLID WOOD BODY, AWESOME BUILT-IN TUNER WITH A SIMPLE BUT ELEGANT STYLE TRADITONAL BODY. Sounds great. Check thier website. Call em. Don't overlook them.

Breedlove Atlas Stage J350/EF Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Breedlove Atlas Stage J350/EF Acoustic Electric Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this Breedlove from Guitar Center in Dallas. I went there to buy a Takamine Jumbo (EG523SC), which I'd been shopping for for a long time. I played the Tak, basically liked it, and then saw this Breedlove jumbo they had on the wall, deeply discounted as it had been a floor model for quite a while. As soon as I touched it I knew I was dealing with something in a different class from the Takamine. The J350 is as bright and loud as the Tak, but without being "boomy," due to its clear but deep bass tone. The neck is a little wider than my old Fender, which takes some getting used to, but I have found that the width, while challenging my grip a bit at first, also gives me more room on the fretboard.
The electronic tuner is excellent (and the guitar holds its tune very well), and the pickup is brilliant. With the blowout price, I got this guitar for $791 (plus tax) with a breedlove hard case. I could not be more pleased with the deal. I have been in there since and played a Taylor worth $2200 and could not say it had a fuller or clearer sound than my J350. You will not be disappointed. If I had more money, I would certainly have paid it for this guitar; as it is I consider myself lucky to have found one in my modest price range!

For this price point this guitar should be considered if you are looking for a 12 string.
I have a Takamine ef385 that sold for three times the price originally.

Oscar Schmidt OG312 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Review

Oscar Schmidt OG312 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't say enough good things about this guitar. I have been playing for almost 2.5 years, so I'm still relatively new. However, having been involved with music for at least 15 years (through school band or chorus) I consider myself fairly educated as far as sound goes, and this makes a wonderful sound.
The action is very comfortable, the higher strings seem to ring just a little louder than the low ones, but, that could be the way I am hitting them.
I truly enjoy this guitar. It is the "go to" out of my collection.

Luna Muse 12 String Cutaway Acoustic Guitar, Maple Review

Luna Muse 12 String Cutaway Acoustic Guitar, Maple
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is my third or forth 12 string and I am very impressed (the others were Yamaha and Ibenez). The solid top and maple back and sides create a sweet tone and when plugged in it rocked my world. I'm not going to suggest that it will beat a Taylor or Gibson or any other high end guitar but when you consider it is about one fifth to one tenth of the price, well...nuf said. Still it has great tone and the action makes you think you're playing a six string. The neck is a little narrower than a standard 12 string, but it's not a problem for me and I have big fat ogre fingers. You get so much more than your moneys worth. I'm thinking about selling my Ovation Legend so I can make room for the six string Luna Muse.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The sound of this guitar is incredible and the beauty of the Rosewood is great. The playing action is low and fast also. The over all quality of this Guitar and the way it plays, you would expect it to cost as much as Martin's or Taylor's. It sounds as good or even better because the Craviola shape gives it it's own ORIGINAL, UNIQUE sound. I would highly recommend this guitar to any guitar player at any playing level. To play one is to fall in love with one! The ONLY bad thing I have to say is the way Amazon shipped this product. I was very surprised that nothing on the guitar was broken when I received it. If you have any questions about the Giannini Craviola feel to contact me at garyeichenberg@yahoo.com

I have owned one of these for about 2 years. It is great! If you chord, there is no better accompaniment for your voice. If you finger pick, there's plenty of room between the sets of strings. It's soundboard puts out plenty of volume. The more I play it the better it is sounding.

Breedlove Atlas Stage J350/EF-12 Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Breedlove Atlas Stage J350/EF-12 Acoustic Electric Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had several 12s over the years, but I've always been disappointed... not this time. AJ350..Where have you been all my life? I've hated broken G octaves, bad action at fret 12+ and overall lack of depth and balance in the bass and midrange... that being said:
WOW! Nice guitar! Just unboxed it and tuned it up... has the lowest action I've ever seen for a factory run guitar. Sticker inside said guitar had been setup once it got in from Korea. Great job! String height across the entire fretboard TO THE SOUNDHOLE was 2/32! Nice.... very nice.
Something else (big deal for me) - I had grown so tired of breaking G octave strings on pin based bridges that I had almost given up and permanently kept my former 12 string tuned to D to avoid breakage. Three cheers for Breedlove's pinless bridge - the G octave walked right up to full concert pitch with narry a wimper! YEAH!!!
I can't wait to hook this guitar into our church's audio system to hear the LR Baggs pickup. It includes a really sweet tuner you'll enjoy.
Lastly... If you think Dreadnot 12s sound anemic.... you're right. The first time you strum this guitar you hear the immediate effect of jumbo architecture - you've finally got the bass and "grunt" you've always wanted in a 12. The sound from this guitar is VERY balanced and gives you everything you've always missed in smaller body 12s.
Icing on the cake includes: abalone binding, flamed maple on sides and back, Grover tuners and it comes with its own case - yep! You don't have to buy one after you get it! Nice....
Get this guitar. You won't be disappointed.

Oscar Schmidt OG312CEB 12 String Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar Review

Oscar Schmidt OG312CEB 12 String Dreadnought Acoustic Electric Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have played a few 12 string guitars in my day and never really got into them. I played An Oscar Schmidt OG312EB at Vic's Music in Montrose, CO and had to have it. It has inspired a ton of music and dollar for dollar has been the best piece of equipment that I own. From three feet away, it's beautiful but when you look up close, you'll see why it's not a $3,000 guitar. There are a few small blemishes from the factory. Small things like chips along the neck binding, a small crack in the paint where the neck joint joins the guitar and some pretty rough fret edges. Based on sound though, it puts to shame every $3,000 guitar I've ever played. Unplugged, it has a very bright tone with clean pure bass response. You can hear every string at near equal volumes. When plugged in, the on board electronics really shine. Everyone that's heard me playing it says that it sounds like ten people playing ten different instruments. It just resonates these beautiful tones between everything you're actually playing. When I play a basic E chord, it sounds like there is a backup band of strings, synths, and voices all harmonizing. The action and intonation is the best I've ever played on an acoustic and the electronics are amazing. If you're looking for a new 12 string, don't have a ton of cash to spend, and can overlook some cosmetic details, GO PLAY ONE OF THESE THINGS. It's the sound that really counts...right?

I have had this guitar for a whole seven hours and I'm already in love. I'm also in love with Amazon Prime. I ordered this yesterday at 11:43am and received it today at 11:10am. The $7 charge for Saturday delivery was well worth it. The guitar came set up nicely with low action out of the box. A few minutes of tuning and it's playing like a dream. Great tone played acoustically, plug it in and it's even better. I'm no expert so take this review as you will but I think this is an exceptional value for a North American handcrafted instrument.
