The Wesley 12 string, clearly based on a famous Martin dreadnaught. These guitars come from China but hey, so do fantastic takeaways! Its the second Wesley I ve come into contact with and both times been Knocked over by the exact measurements and precise settings of bridge, nut etc.
The first Wesley I played is a Telecaster type with P90s and a hollow body, blue sunburst...After having it for 30 minutes I was playing it on stage!
Back to the twelve string - The first thing I noticed was it most certainly didnot look like a cheap guitar. I dont know what the timber is but it looks good. The machine heads are very good and the whole thing stays in tune which is a godsend for a twelve string
Sound

The sound of this guitar is very bell like, fantastic for Christmas just round the corner.
Its great for single instrument songs as the sound is so full, I also love playing blues on it.

The guitar was very playable straight from the box, it was set up superbly.
For the price, the guitar containedno noticable flaws
Reliability/Durability
:
8
The beast would probably survive life on the road, everything is stuck on solid enough. As for using the guitar on stage without a backup, anything could happen!

The guitar has 1 years warranty, hope I dont have to use it.
Overall Rating
:
10
Ive been playing now for 2.5 years, I have a 6 string acoustic, and a strat copy, going thro a Marshal combo.
If my twelve string was pinched id have no hesitation in buying a new one.
We played 12 strings in our local guitar shops, Tanglewoods and similar priced guitars, dont wish to sound bias but the Wesley blows them out the water, even at a quarter of the price!
