The Grand J-16E 12-String expands the refreshed 16 Series with a bold, sonically driven voice—built to command the room through depth, shimmer, and projection. Its gloss spruce top with vintage tint is paired with satin solid East Indian rosewood back and sides for deep, rumbling bass and rich overtones that support the signature chime and jangle of a 12-string. The Grand Jumbo body size delivers powerful volume, while its 000 depth enhances comfort without sacrificing projection—making it equally suited for strumming, layered accompaniment, or expressive live performance. Non-scalloped X-bracing provides clarity and balance across all twelve strings, while L.R. Baggs® Element™ electronics make it ready for the stage or studio. With chorus-like texture and undeniable presence, it’s built to command the room.
