Epiphone Ft 565 12 String Guitar

This was part of the package for the GL1 Guitalele - Nylon-String Guitar Ukulele (Natural) by Yamaha. It was all given as a gift and well received!

My first nylon string guitar of this type and I'm absolutely amazed at how nice this is. It's a very light yet solidly built guitar. Fit and finish is stunning. Playability is easily comparable to guitars of this type that are more than twice the price. Very pleased with this guitar.

Works very well on my Cordoba nylon string classical guitar. Firm pressure, grip is effective but doesn't damage anything. Easy to use.

I'm a jazz guitarist playing an 8-string classical guitar that goes higher and lower than a regular guitar. It has a K & K pickup and I my amp is a JBL EON powered speaker, which, for this instrument sounds better than any jazz guitar amp. I have used the Zoom A-3 preamp as well as an L.R. Baggs Venue DI. They are both very good but I'd say the Grace Alix is the best I've found. It has great features you can read about but I must say that the sound of my guitar with the EQ set flat is strong, clear and simply amazing! It's very well thought out. Worth the price.

Epiphone LP securely fits snugly in this gigbag.

A great inconspicuous tuner. Easy for you to see and nobody else. A must for a 12 string. No excuse for not being in tune. I’ve got six of them.

Yes, it is expensive, but oversized checked baggage cost an extra $ each way and this is just under the allowed dimensions. You can fit a ton of gear in it. So far this is what I have in it, and still can add more: -Impact Background Support System - 12' Wide (includes two 10 ft stands and a cross bar). Fit in sideways by taking it out of the bag it came in. -two 8 ft light stands.-one Impact 13 ft Multiboom Light Stand and Reflector Holder.-one 10 x 12 background.-one 6 ft Manfrotto MS0490A Nanopole light stand.-one westcott octal softbox.-one 60 inch umbrella.-two 45 inch umbrellas.By, the way...I am good at packing. Others might not as much success. I would of loved to have paid $ for the Impact Light Kit Bag #3 but it is 2 inches less in length. I would of not been able to fit in the 13 ft multiboom stand, nor the Background Support System into it.

I so wanted the 12-ft Manfrotto 1004BAC-3 interlocking stands, but just couldn't justify the price as I am mostly a 'paid' hobbiest and the Manfrottos would take years to pay for themselves. I grabbed 2 of these Impact stands from the used department for $ (rated 8+), and can't tell them from the 3rd one that I bought new. Very pleased with B&H! Locking screws are a little soft and may strip if used every day. Don't over-tighten, but then I am only supporting light weight LEDS.

A solid 12 ft trio of stands which I use inside and outside (plus sandbags for extra security). To me the greatest advantage is transport. The trio link together reliable for single armed transport. They are not inexpensive, but good equipment rarely is Never a problem with individual units. They just work, this coming from a mechanical engineer. B&H is always on the mark.

Well made and well designed stand. You will need a large bag as this doesn't collapse down too far - it is a 12 ft stand! I will be buying more!
