My customer demographic is most 60+ with more than enough joint and muscle maladies to keep the lights burning well into the night. This small body 12-string is the perfect escape from wrap sore arms wrapped around a dred-size 12-string. You've earned playing in comfort without sacrificing much else. With plenty of extra reinforcing to accommodate the added string tension, this little 12-string doesn't know it's only puppy size yet still brazen enough to growl back, if poked.
