Our popular Heartsong line has now been enhanced with the addition of a 12 String Guitar! Twelve-string guitars feature twelve steel strings in six courses which can produce a richer more ringing tone than a standard guitar. The neck is a touch wider as well to accommodate the extra strings and is similar to the width of a classical guitar neck. Many players say the sound is fuller and more harmonically resonant than six-string instruments. The Fishman Presys II pre-amp with built-in tuner 1/4 and USB outputs faithfully recreates the amplified sound of this impressive 12-string. With it s record-on-the-spot solution compatible with any USB-supporting Apple or Windows laptop smart phone iPhone or iPad you get plug-and-play capability into your favorite recording software. No external USB power or powered USB bus/hub is required. Now you can record your songs and ideas directly into your device using your favorite recording app... simply plug in and go!
