(I've owned 4 +) Recently I returned a new Rickenbacker 12-string costing 3X as much as my A-12 Godin. (I prefer Godin's thin satin neck feel and playability over Ricki's deeper hi-gloss design ) The Godin's action and intonation was spot on , right out of the box. It sounds a lot like the Guild 12-String I owned in 1974...bright- wooden instrument sound..like the sound from the Roof Top Singers or New Christy Minstrels. It holds tune very well. I recently ordered some Flatwound La Bella strings which I suspect will soften the bright sparkly sound towards a more "electric" voicing....we'll see. I like both qualities. Build and finish of the A-12 (like all Godins) is equivalent to guitars costing many hundreds $ more. Review: Best 12 string action,preamp is not quite as good as my Taylor, IMO; 9v battery depletes too quick - Had to send the first one back, as the 9v battery only lasts for hours, not even days. When I emailed a Godin rep, he said "this is a defect, it happens now and again. Probably the preamp needs replacing." The supplier, guitarVault, can't even assure me the next one arriving won't have the same problem! Still, the guitar is a dream to play, hands down the easiest to navigate leads on. I've been playing a Taylor 150e for 7 years on a solo gig, so it's an interesting comparison of the DI-ed sound, which is very important on my gigs: I actually prefer the sound of the Taylor, but I can approach that sound with the Godin A12. Unplugged, the A12 has a much more brash sound and is louder to the player; this makes it difficult to know if my tone adjustments tame the sound. So the 2nd A12 is coming tomorrow, 8/4, and I'll play a gig and let you know if this 2nd one has the battery depletion problem. 8/5/20: The 2nd A12 arrived with a dead battery. So I will assume ALL A12s have this defect. I may return this and wait for them to fix this across the board. I will call Godin rep, 8/6 - 8/7: I sent the 2nd one back, and Godin says they will drop-ship me one w/o the problem soon. ***GuitarVault has been GREAT about the whole thing. Great seller!*** Godin indicated the older A12s had the problem. 8/11/20: One final entry then I'm out...Godin replies that they don't have any A12s to drop-ship so GuitarVault will refund me. I really want a working A12 dangit! ..but will wait. I will rate it to 3 stars for it's easy playing ## Features - North American made - Double-Action Truss Rod - Canadian Hard Rock Maple Neck - Incredibly easy to fret and comfortable neck ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0017KHX3E | | Back Material Type | Two-Chambered Silver Leaf Maple | | Best Sellers Rank | #173,731 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #765 in Acoustic-Electric Guitars #1,249 in Acoustic Guitars | | Body Material Type | Two-Chambered Silver Leaf Maple | | Brand Name | Godin | | Color | Natural | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (18) | | Fretboard Material Type | Richlite | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00623501025343 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Custom Godin Humbucker & under-saddle transducer | | Hand Orientation | R | | Included Components | with bag | | Instrument | Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 44.25 x 16.25 x 5.75 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 44.25"L x 16.25"W x 5.75"H | | Item Weight | 12 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Godin | | Manufacturer Part Number | 025343 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | A12 | | Model Number | A12 | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 25.5 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Cedar Wood | | UPC | 623501025343 | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime on workmanship. 1 year on electronics. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Two-Chambered Silver Leaf Maple - **Body Material:** Two-Chambered Silver Leaf Maple - **Brand:** Godin - **Color:** Natural - **Fretboard Material Type:** Richlite - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** Custom Godin Humbucker & under-saddle transducer - **Hand Orientation:** R - **Neck Material Type:** Mahogany - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Top Material Type:** Cedar Wood ## Images ![A12 Natural SG - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RDAa2JK1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True 12-String Acoustic Sound (and more) *by N***S on March 13, 2014* Best 12-String I've ever played.

I have a Gibson Hummingbird Pro, Martin Performing Artist Series and a Taylor 458e but the Godin outplays them all. Pair the A12 with a Fishman Loudbox amplifier and you will have one beautiful sounding 12string acoustic! ## Frequently Bought Together - Godin A12 Two-Chambered Electro-Acoustic Guitar (Natural) - MusicNomad F-ONE Fretboard Oil Cleaner & Conditioner 2 oz (MN105) - MusicNomad Cradle Cube, Neck Rest & Support for Electric, Acoustic, & Bass Guitar, (MN206) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/14661268-a12-natural-sg](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/14661268-a12-natural-sg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
