It delivers great tone when plugged in to most amps and, versatile as it is, it will allow you to find your own tone that you will be proud of as well. Dean's Boca 12-String is surely a world class sounding instrument.

Ready to play out of the box, Dean's Boca 12-String is easy to set it up even more precise than usual, thanks to great hardware pieces it has built in. Handling and playing this kind of guitar is a pure joy as it stays in tune 90% of the time, regardless of the level of usage.

Incredible guitar at any price. The slightly wider neck makes playing it easy. The finish is very, very nice (mine is black with white trim). Without a doubt, it is top heavy. You'll find yourself holding the neck up. The guitar itself, for it's size, is heavy.

Well built. Solid. Pickups have a great sound. The keys aren't the best, but more than adequate. The fretboard finish is nice and smooth, as are the frets.

For the price, you can't beat it. Sounds like the Byrd's twelve string solos. Stays in tune very well. I'd buy another if it were stollen.

Overall, other than being top heavy, I love this guitar. I hate it being top heavy, but I've said that 6 times now. I have a Yamaha 12 string, and this is easier to play and sounds fuller. It would be awesome with gold hardware.

Great guitar, have own for a couple of years now. Well made, nice action, and that sound! It replaces 2 Rickenbacker I had, For the money, I am quite happy, to have a replacement that gives me the sound I want and not the price I would have to pay.
