Epiphone DR-212 Dreadnought 12-string – Natural Epiphone

Epiphone DR-212 Dreadnaught 12-String Acoustic Guitar

DR-212

The DR-212 is a true 12-string acoustic guitar with the big sound and fine engineering you expect from Epiphone. The DR-212 is not just a dreadnought with 6 extra strings. They designed the DR-212 to take the stress of extra strings and not just support the Spruce top but provide the proper bracing so what you hear is a balanced, cutting, and attention-getting tone. The 12-string dreadnought has often been thought of as the classic-go to guitar for blues, folk, rock, country, and everything in-between.

They know you want your 12-string acoustic guitar tone to be distinctive and for your instrument to not come unglued. A lot of 12-string guitar makers expect you to be satisfied with an ‘ok’ sound hoping that the novelty of having a 12-string will detract from the fact it sounds thin.

Select Spruce For A Select Instrument

The DR-212 features a Select Spruce top. Spruce is a rich and complex tonewood that begins to breath and improve with age the more its played. So play the DR-212 everywhere! The body is made from solid mahogany and the bridge is properly sized and braced for the extra tension of 12 strings tuned to standard tuning. The classic black vintage style pickguard is easy to spot on stage or across the room and has the iconic “Epiphone” E.

Mahogany neck

The DR-212 mahogany neck is glued-in at the 14th fret and features a 25.5″ scale, a SlimTaper shape, and dot inlays. Their iconic Sloped Dovewing headstock completes the look with twelve premium tuners.
