This series of lessons was designed inhouse, to give you the best start to your musical career. This is what this lesson pack is all about - the stuff that nobody really tells you at the start of your guitar playing journey. Issues like holding the guitar, using a plectrum and some simple exercises to start you off.

So whether you're 7 or 70, take some time to check out the lesson pack and most importantly - be patient and have fun!

Here are the reasons why this guitar is great:

It has Steel Strings for a great sound. Watch the video above and have a listen to the audio clip to hear how it sounds. Most beginner guitars have nylon strings but unless you want to play classical or Spanish music, you may be disappointed. (If you do prefer the sound of a classical/Spanish style guitar we have a range available in our store).

It has a Low String Action (all our guitars are set-up at the factory for the optimum beginner playing level). String action is the measurement from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string. This is very important because a guitar with a high action is hard to play, a guitar with too low an action will buzz and sound bad. Artist Guitars are set up at the factory for the optimum level for a beginner.

It has a Built-in Pickup with EQ & Tuner so if you want to play through an amp or PA system, or even record, it's easy to connect your guitar up for a great sound.

A Truss Rod that allows you to correct for the effects of weather on the guitar help keep the neck straight and the action height the neck can be adjusted.

Comes included with a Bag to protect your guitar, Strap and Built-In Tuner - A tuner for a beginner is vital. A guitar needs to be tuned every time you play. As ours is built into the guitar its always in the right place. It's extremely simple to use so you will be using it correctly in no time at all.

Die-cast Machine Heads - This means your guitar will tune quicker, be more stable and stay in tune longer

12 string

By: on 19 February 2024
For the price point, this is an excellent guitar. Surprisingly low action for a 12 string, and a pleasant tone. Shimmering highs and good bass. Best of all is this company's customer service which is the best I have ever received. Recommended!

Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate it.

Happy but mmff

By: on 9 January 2024
The 12 string is superb for the price and exactly what I ordered. Well packed and a bargain. There is one issue but frankly an expeted one. Its action is way high. I will have to bet it dropped. My comment is that a 12 string is a boutique guitar and those buying one have played one before and know that a low guitar that will be used occasionally is what they are looking for. ease of play is key. 12 strings have their own challenges and a high action adds to the challenge.

Beginners 12String guitar?

By: on 8 November 2023
Firstly, thank you Artist Guitars for a truly surprisingly great product and the opportunity to review this guitar. On first impressions the LSP12CEQNT is extraordinary value for money. An absolute bargain. I was going to buy another well known brand 12String @8 times the price, for no real reason I bought this instead and am really glad I did. Most beginner guitars are plain outright painful to play, are unstable, barely tunable and at best sound lousy, let alone a beginner twelve string. The LSP12CEQNT is surprisingly great and I really enjoy playing it. It arrived safely and in good order, due to proper packaging and an excellent courier service. On opening, everything was there as advertised on the site. The guitar is well finished, frets dressed/finished properly and strings in good shape. Put the supplied battery in its holder then tuned up to Eb via the built in chromatic tuner. The neck is slim with an action that is low and very comfortable, no buzzes anywhere along each string. What really surprised me was the tuning accuracy all along the neck. The sealed tuners are quite acceptable. The build quality is excellent for it’s price point. The sound? It is no top of the line Martin, Taylor or Guild, but they do not sound twenty times better than the LSP12CEQNT either, or in my case 8 times better than 12 string I was contemplating buying. Acoustically it sounds decent, and is good enough for me to write/arrange or demo on, as I said, I really enjoy working with this guitar. Out of curiosity I have made some professional quality sounding tracks with this guitar by using two good quality microphones “with” the on board preamp and a pro mixer. They sound great, without smothering it’s sound with big reverbs or chorus overkill, sadly too often used on YouTube reviews. The LSP12CEQNT is a decent sounding twelve string and plays really well straight out of the box. It is easy to tune, holds it’s tuning (stable) and is in tune all the way up the fret board. A capo works well on it too. I would rate the LSP12CEQNT an excellent beginner 12 String guitar, and honestly any competent guitarist could use this guitar professionally through any reasonable audio/PA system. It is a good instrument and with all good instruments, it is what you put into it you will get out of it. This guitar has plenty of potential for anyone to learn on or to simply enjoy playing. Over the years, I have played and worked on many twelve string guitars much worse with a market value of up to twenty times the retail price Artist Guitars are asking for the LSP12CEQNT. I bought a hard shell case as well, as it really is a guitar worth looking after. Thank You Artist Guitars, and thank you, the reader, I sincerely hope this review is of value to you. All the best.

What a great value 12 string!

By: on 2 November 2023
In so many ways I've been pleasantly surprised with this guitar purchase. Not only was the shipping incredibly quick and well packed but I was then surprised with the guitar quality. Given the price point there's not much you could complain about. The tuners seem decent, finish was consistent and overall sounds great. If anything the action may be a little high but definitely not a show stopper.

Very wholesome and melodious sound. Sounds really nice. Does require regular tuning.

Artist Guitars Response

Good guitar for the price

By: on 4 August 2023
Sound quality is good. The action, however is very high and makes it quite painful to play for some time. The string spacing is farther than my Cort 12-string back home, but it is acceptable. Once I have the time, I will loosen the strings and put lemon oil on the fretboard as it is covered with something powdery, making it very dry.

Artist LSP12CEQNT 12 string acoustic guitar

By: on 17 April 2023
I've been playing acoustic, electric and bass. Decided to buy this one as I didn't want to pay a fortune for one. I've purchased from Artist Guitars before and was not disappointed. This 12 String is value for money. The quality for the price is amazing. Sounds and feels great to play. Takes a bit of getting used to the tuning though. The strings on the guitar were oxidised from storage, but the spare set supplied, made it easy to re string. Very happy with my purchase.

Pretty good

By: on 13 February 2023
For its money, it's a good sounding guitar and plays pretty nicely. As it's advertised for beginners though, I would imagine it would turn off some players from 12 string guitar as the action decently high while being advertised as "low for beginners" as well as a pretty wide fretboard. The tuners don't hold tune super well either, but you get what you paid for and overall decent guitar for the price.

Fantastic

By: on 10 November 2022
I always loved the breadth and tone of twelve-strings, but I am a mediocre acoustic guitarist, so I was never able to justify investing in a brand one. Enter Artist Guitars, and sure enough, for a fraction of the money, you can now play that Wish You Were Here intro flawlessly in your own living room, and take any song you like to strum to a whole different level. Beautiful guitar, great tone, a fantastic introduction to the 12-string... One piece of advice: immediately tune it in D if you don't want to find yourself baffled as to why the high G keeps snapping on you.

This is my first 12 string and I was a little nervous about buying online sight unseen (or rather sound unheard?) Anyway, need not have worried. The finish is immaculate, the tuners are Goldilocks (and so many of them!), action is perfect and the electronics check out. The sound is really very good, the price of this quality is astounding. I'm already practicing Hotel California. Thanks AG!

Beginners 12 string

By: on 4 January 2022
I played a 6 string as an adolescent and when I saw the opportunity to try a 12 string (at an advanced age) I grabbed it -the holy grail. The entire package is fantastic. But the reviews sold me. I was looking at Fender etc (for the name I knew and lusted after as that adolescent) but was taken by the comments by experienced users. I am stoked - probably about to have a stroke - but it'll be worth it. Thanks Artists!!

Nice Sounding Beginners 12 String

By: on 29 November 2021
I bought this guitar as an ex-display. The guitar itself is generally well made and sounds great for a "beginners" guitar. It's actually better than a beginners guitar and sounds great. However being hung up for however long it was, there was a few issues with the guitar. Like most guitars, over time the freboard has shrunk slightly leaving the fret ends sharp. For me this was easily fixed. However the bridge also dried out and split between the retaining pins. Although Artist were awesome and we came to an agreement on repairs. I'd definitely recommend putting some fretboard oil on the bridge as well as the fretboard with these guitars with change strings. From new, I wouldn't expect any of these issues though and the guitar sounds great as a good 12 string should. Not boxy like some of the other budget guitars I've played.

Drop 'Beginner' from the name - This guitar is ide

By: on 8 November 2021
I have picked up a few 12 strings over the years, from cheap to expensive. This one is streets ahead of the cheap ones and well on a par with those costing 5-10 times as much. The action, tone, and intonation are superb. It stays in tune too. If I was to level any criticism it would be that the machine heads are a little stiff, but it is not a big issue.

Acoustic 12 string

By: on 7 February 2019
I have been looking for a good but inexpensive 12 string acoustic guitar for some time as it was the only guitar I did not have. I owned one when I was a teenager but sold it. Been playing on and off for 50 years and now spend all my time amusing myself playing all my 20 or so instruments. Found it with this one. Easy enough to play (won't be playing too many tunes on it) and has a great sound.

12 string of awesomeness

By: on 18 April 2018
If you want a reliable, totally solid 12 string this is the one for you. Honestly I've been playing for a little over 15 years it may say beginner but that is just a name. Honestly it plays like butter my students of only a few months can pick this up and play a few chords its that easy to play. Totally grabbed me by surprised the tone from this guitar is god like. The finish is flawless,Internation was spot on and my frets were level to a tee. Cant find a single flaw alll in all if you want a 12 string thats 1 easy to play,2 sounds amazing and 3 looks stuning then you've found it!
