Rainsong JM3000 Jumbo 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar  

Great 12-string for road use, and not bad in the studio. The acoustic sound is loud, but a bit brittle. By beefing up the lower string guages just a little, it sounds bigger and has better bass. Elixir Polywebs smoothed the sound a bit, compared to the Nanowebs that came with the guitar. It sounds excellent plugged in. The big deal, however, is the advantages of the composite build. It's rugged but very light weight. And it stays in tune better than any 6 or 12 I've owned, and the action is always the same--regardless of temp or humidity changes. I can use it for acousting strolling or plugged in, indoors or out, and never worry about the action or intonation changing. As with most twelves, the neck should be wider. And for the money you pay, it should come set up better. Action is high and frets need dressing. There's no adjustable truss rod, but the neck is true enough. So you have adjust the bridge saddle and/or the nut, and dress the frets to improve the action. Messing with the bridge saddle always risks the sound of the transducer pickup. I was told Rainsong will set it up according to your specs if you ship it to them, but I haven't confirmed that. I give it only four stars across the board, mainly for the price/quality-of-setup ratio. And because it comes with a decent, but low-end hardshell case.

I received the Rainsong JM3000 12 string guitar a couple months ago. I have been very happy with it. The only two problems I have is I find it a little jangly unless plugged in and I have had trouble finding a capo that works well. That isn't much of a problem as I sing most in the open keys anyway. But sometimes I like to use a capo to change the voicing of certain keys, especially A and D 

I recieved this guitar about a month ago.  I was a little bit hesitant about purchasing a non-wood guitar, but I have not been disappointed. The only problem I have is when I use a capo I get a little bit of fret buzz from the octave D string.
