What is the best 12-string electro-acoustic guitar under £400?
Published · Last updated
Answered by Roadie
The Eko Ranger XII VR is the budget pick at £299, while the Fender CD-140SCE-12 at £359 is worth considering if you specifically want a dreadnought. Both are 12-string electro-acoustics within the £400 budget.
The Eko Ranger XII VR 12-String Electro Acoustic in Honey Burst has the lowest listed new price of these two options at £299. It is the better starting point if keeping your spend down is the priority.
The Fender CD-140SCE-12 Dreadnought 12-String Electro Acoustic in Natural has a listed new price of £359, £60 more than the Eko. Consider it if a dreadnought is your preferred format; the supplied details do not establish a winner for sound or playability.
