Vangoa 12 String Guitar Solid Wood, Twelve String Acoustic Electric Guitar Kit with Premium Spruce Top, Mahogany Body, Upgraded EQ, Bone Nut, Saddle, Classical Brown

Holy Smokes is this thing great! I have a Martin 000-15M and a Martin Custom Shop 000-42 than ran me over $9K. I also WAY TOO MANY guitars, and for fear of the wrath of my wife, I had to somehow find a super inexpensive way to scratch my 12-String Itch! I ordered this guitar not expecting much, and MAN, was i blown away! I went over every inch of the finishing work, fret work, action, tuners, and electronics... The action is so low, but with NO DEAD Spots or Buzzing anywhere! My neighbor picked one up 5 days later after playing mine, and his was as perfect as mine, so i don't think I just got lucky... I stretched out the strings and within a few hours the tuning was incredibly stable with only an occasional tweak to 2 or 3 of the 12 strings every few days. It actually keeps better tuning than my 000-15M at $1,900! I thought the tuners would be garbage, but so far they are wonderful! I say take a chance on this guitar! For $300-ish, you simply can't go wrong!

Very happy customer. This guitar is an amazing value... so many features for so little money! It has great tone, good action, a solid spruce top, mahogany sides and back, nice inlays at the sound hole and fretboard. This is an acoustic electric with built-in tuner. I'm not sure why the purchase included a clip-on electronic tuner but happy to have a spare. The included extra set of strings is nice. The included capo is not strong enough for a 12-string even tuned down a full step. Before purchasing, I tried some higher end, used guitars to control costs, but this guitar sounds and plays better. The good sound was evident even when watching youtube reviews. By buying the Vangoa Pro 12-string, I don't have to worry about spending money straightening the neck on an older, dinged or scratched 12-string guitar. If this feedback makes it back to Vangoa, I respectfully submit three suggestion. (1) Either don't supply a capo or supply one truly suitable for a 12-string. (2) Improve the tuner to allow tuning down a half step or whole step. (3) Improve the model label inside the guitar body. The label itself looks cheap and out of place compared to the wonderful attention given the rest of the guitar. A serial number isn't necessary, but could be helpful to Vangoa quality control in the event of a problem. Thank you for a wonderful guitar at such an unbelievingly low price!

Straight out of the box this guitar had very high action, the frets and bridge were dry as a bone, and it would not stay in tune after I tuned it up. After getting it set up by my local guitar luthier, it now plays and sounds acceptable. I appreciate that Vangoa made some much needed updates to this guitar, but it is a mediocre guitar — at best — even after a professional setup. I would advise beginners and more advanced players to look elsewhere for a much better quality 12-string, and consider paying a little more. You definitely get what you pay for.

I have been playing for 50 years now, this is my 7th 12 string and best yet. (I've had Ovation, Dean, Epiphone and three Alvarez, so not my first rodeo.)The unit I received had a decidedly convex neck, very hard to tune as the strings rake the frets and you just don't know where you are at. Finally you get enough clearance to get it in tune. Patience pays as I spent three weeks finding the right gauge strings, ernie ball light electric strings seemed to sit best and the action came out nice and low at about 80 thousands of an inch at the 12 fret, the low end of the scale, 80 to 100 being "good."In the end I believe the convex neck is better at resisting the tension on its own, requiring less from the truss rod.The fret ends are the best I've ever seen, but why not polish the frets while you are at it?Not as rough a fret as Gibson, but polishing would make a nice touch, I did mine and they are like glass.Also, might I suggest a brass nut? They have twice the sustain of bone, which itself is just a little better than plastic.Fit and finish are top notch, small issue with a raised 6th fret, I plan on taking it down with a hand stone.But this is a beautiful guitar, more in the $1200 range in my estimation, love the slimline, the tuner has a small screen, not just red and green LEDs, split back and sides, beautiful wood grain!(I use white cotton gloves while tuning the 18 to 1 keys, gold, especially gold plating should never be handled directly.)Last but not least I must mention the generous amount of abalone inlay work on the fret board, the soundhole and the properly shaped peghead, well done folks!(Generous inlays, but useful, I don't like "tree of life" etc fingerboard inlays.)But again, what a beautiful guitar and the accessories were great too, and shipped in the case!
