The Songmaker DR-212 is a true 12-string acoustic guitar with the big sound and fine engineering you expect from Epiphone. The Songmaker DR-212 is not just a dreadnought with 6 extra strings. We designed the Songmaker 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.
