Why this one made the wall

#1201235082

Featuring a stunning tobacco sunburst top and a full-body gloss finish, this stylish 12-string acoustic-electric delivers a bold octave-rich voice along with its striking looks. The beloved tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce yields a clear, balanced voice with pristine trebles, warm lows and a lush overtone profile that beautifully complements the signature sparkle of the 12-string configuration. Under the hood, our V-Class bracing architecture adds even more power and sustain, adding up to a robust voice that suits virtually any playing style or genre. A genuine ebony fretboard caps our slender, easy-playing neck, with Finial inlays accenting the ebony's natural beauty. The 454ce sports white binding, nickel tuning machines, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and an agoya shell rosette. It includes ES2 electronics and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Ian's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
