Ibanez B-672BK (12 String) Review

Price Bought

Rs 1500

Sound Quality

Stunning. I have played many songs with it, if you want a clear thought full strum, this should be your bet. It comes out way over all the other twelve strings I heard thanks to a perfect neck shape and a more expansive harmonics resonance.

But only plays acoustic style, no jack out. So you'll have to use an extra pick up (under the strings) and we all know how those would sound when you HAVE to put them in.

Unless you need to play live for 1200 people, it's one impressive sound.

Build Quality

Consider first that the guitar was bought in '81. It hasn't lost anything with time. In fact, it's even better now. The neck has no deformation and the the string holds are perfectly fit. The only hic would be those panels on the side of the hole. They slightly moved after being kept for five years because of the glue being weak. Well, doesn't matter when your playing. Everything still works so fine.

The touch is very light and comfortable (difficult for 12strings). The shape of it is a bit bent so your fingers have a perfect reach everywhere.

Defects Upon Purchase

None to report. Still a pleasure after one generation has passed on the knowledge to another (as well as an Ibanez).

Additional Comments

It is black! A black, 12 strings accoustic guitar can't be anything bad. Oh, i named her Isabelle (i'm sensitive, lol)
