Orangewood Austen Retro Live 12-String - Aged Natural Satin

Get a fuller, shimmering sound with the 12-string acoustic-electric Austen. This commanding dreadnought, evolved from our Austen Retro model, delivers rich textures that reveal the true magic of a 12-string guitar.

Featuring a beautifully golden solid spruce top, a vintage-inspired headstock and bridge build, 5-ply binding, and open-gear tuners.

Highlights:

• Equipped with the LR Baggs Element Bronze undersaddle pickup system
• Solid spruce top with layered mahogany back and sides
• Redesigned retro-style headstock with a straightened profile and open-gear tuners
• Classic silhouette bridge design with upgraded bridge pins
• Oversized inlays reminiscent of 20th-century design stylings
• Ivoroid pickguard pre-installed

Built from solid spruce, the top's stained finish adds a golden, worn-in character. As the wood continues to settle and dry over time, the tone will only open up and deepen, growing richer with each year of play.

Step back in time with our Overland Retro Collection. The Austen 12-string brings that spirit to life with a jangly, nostalgic chime, complete with a vintage-inspired headstock and open-gear tuners.
