Fenech Guitars
The Fenech True Tone D78 12-String brings the unmistakable shimmer and depth of a twelve-string guitar to one of Australia's finest handmade acoustic ranges. Built entirely by hand on the Gold Coast, it combines the craftsmanship, attention to detail and tonal refinement that have defined Fenech guitars for decades with the expansive, orchestral voice that only a twelve-string can deliver.
Designed for players who appreciate a premium instrument, the True Tone Series offers an authentic Fenech experience without compromise. Every guitar is bench-built by a small team of experienced luthiers, individually voiced and expertly finished to create an instrument that feels every bit as inspiring as it sounds.
Constructed with a AA-grade solid Sitka spruce top and AA-grade solid genuine mahogany back and sides, the D78 12-String delivers exceptional projection, remarkable note separation and the rich harmonic complexity that makes twelve-string acoustics so captivating. Whether accompanying vocals, recording layered acoustic parts or filling a room with natural chorus-like brilliance, it offers a truly immersive playing experience.
A truly exceptional twelve-string should feel expansive without ever becoming overwhelming. The True Tone D78 12-String achieves that balance beautifully, producing the lush, orchestral shimmer that players expect from a premium twelve-string while retaining the clarity and definition needed for every note within a chord to be heard.
The dreadnought body provides the headroom that a twelve-string demands. Chords bloom with rich harmonic overtones, the bass remains full and supportive, and the octave strings add the unmistakable sparkle that has shaped countless recordings from folk and country through to modern worship and acoustic rock. Even under a heavy strumming hand, the guitar remains composed, with impressive note separation that prevents complex voicings from becoming congested.
Perhaps the greatest compliment you can pay any twelve-string is that it doesn't feel like a twelve-string. Thanks to Fenech's careful neck shaping, precise setup and meticulous craftsmanship, the D78 feels remarkably comfortable in the hands. Barre chords remain relaxed, fingerstyle passages retain their articulation, and the guitar responds effortlessly to both delicate dynamics and assertive playing.
Ultimately, this is what distinguishes a handcrafted instrument. It is not just louder or more ornate; it responds more intuitively, projects with greater authority, and encourages you to play for longer sessions. The True Tone D78 12-String captures everything players seek in a boutique twelve-string: inspiring tone, effortless playability and the confidence that comes from owning an instrument built to perform for decades.
