Editorial Reviews:

The Dean Boca 12-String Electric Guitar is great for that jangly classic rock sound.With the full twelve strings, a semi-hollowbody with arched top, dual humbuckers, Grover tuners, adjustable bridge with stopbar tailpiece, and rosewood fretboard with dot markers. A sweet-playing axe that gets that Roger McGuinn sound to perfection.

Summary: Jangle sound for small bucks...
Comment: Had this delivered only yesterday but after several hours of playing I'm extremely satisfied. Been playing 60's rock for years and have always lusted after a chimy Byrds/Beatles/Pretenders type sound, but since I'm not a pro and don't play out, I wasn't keen on dropping 2K for a you-know-what (not to mention waiting possibly 6 to 18 months for delivery).
Workmanship seems quite good especially for this price point. The only defect I've noticed is a missing screw from one of the pickups - otherwise I haven't found a blemish - certainly nothing like wiring sticking out of the f-holes as some reviewers on other sites have complained of. Without any additional setup besides tuning up, the intonation is perfect well past fret 12. The neck is wide and fairly chunky - I've never played a Ric but understand that their 12 string necks are quite narrow....the Dean is wide enough that it might actually be a little large for players with smaller hands.
In terms of sound, this delivers exactly you'd expect - that "Mr. Tambourine Man" thing. To achieve that, you pretty much have to use only the bridge pickup with the tone control on full treble, but you don't expect an instrument like this to have a huge sonic range. If you want to get even closer to the sound of that "other" expensive guitar, try using this with a good compressor like a Janglebox - you won't be disappointed, especially at these prices.

Summary: holy cow
Comment: this is the best electric 12 string for twice the money that you will ever
see. stays in tune, unlike many other unnamed famous 12 strings. has an easy to deal with bridge, great tuners, juicy pick-ups, good workmanship detail and get this... it is easy to play. i can't say enough about what a great affordable instrument this is.
