A proven and tested shape for the body of 12-string guitars by gbl is the jumbo form.

But of course it is possible to order an individually designed instrument based on the customer's aesthetic & sound requirements!

The 12-string guitars of gbl distinguish themselves through differentiated sound, room grasping volume and highest acoustic transparency.

This is achieved through high craftsmanship and the type of bracing (X bracing) used in the building process.

Different tones are achieved by the selection of woods - e.g. the tops can be made of matured spruce and the necks of maple.

For the body a variety of woods can be used - those also have an effect on the tone - maple, Indian rosewood, palisander, walnut or cherry.

Fretboard and bridge are made of ebony, the edging is made out of woodchips.

The neck is enforced with an adjustable truss rod which is accessible through the sound hole. The shape and width of the neck can be tailored to customer's requirements.

If required the head can be designed as classic style.

For the machine heads you can select e.g. Schaller mini M6 with ebony tuners.

The mensur measures as a standard 650 mm, saddle and nut are made from bone.
