It's not like a regular 12 string, it's very quiet when u plugged almost like an electric guitar, but I tell ya what though, the sound it produces when plugged in to record is amazing. I was kind of iffy about the purchase at first but after playing for a few weeks, I really enjoy it. The feel of the neck isn't too big, very comfortable grip. Although one downside is that when stringing the guitar the holes at the bridge are super tight and it's a little awkward trying to get the strings over the bridge. I'll give it an 8/10 since there is no unplugged functionality unless you're trying to be quiet and not wake anyone up.

Sound
The sound when plugged in for recording is perfect. Takes a minute to get the equipment correct but once correct it's gorgeous. I recommend elixir strings for the best tone. Change the stock strings right away.

Features
The lack of pickguard is a bummer but it's very well made.

Ease of Use
It wasn't hard at all to achieve a great tone, I was surprised with it's capability.

Quality
It's very sturdy, pretty heavy like an electric but it fits comfortably on the body when sitting down. The thin body is great for sitting down in front of your daw and not have to worry about the space between you and your desk.

Value
I feel the price is fair, but at this price I would expect it to be played unplugged no problem… read more at all, but that's alright everything else is great about it.

The Wow Factor
It looks awesome, I dig the cut out in the body, makes it look very modern. The color is gorgeous.
