Essential Information About the Epiphone Songmaker DR-212 Guitar

  • True 12-string dreadnought: great projection, wide chords, and immediate presence.
  • Designed for 12-string tension: spruce top and bracing adapted for a clearer sound balance.
  • Effective acoustic recipe: selected spruce top and mahogany body for a mix of clarity and warmth.
  • Modern playing comfort: Medium Jumbo frets and mahogany neck for a stable grip.

A 12-string "Songmaker" Designed for the Large Format

Within the Epiphone range, the Songmaker DR-212 stands out as an acoustic 12-string focused on efficiency: a square-shouldered dreadnought format built to withstand the specific tension of a 12-string and deliver the expected "big sound." It incorporates the fundamentals appreciated in this type of guitar (volume, harmonic breadth, rhythmic impact) while emphasizing a top and bracing structure coherent with the additional tension.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The DR-212 is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to enrich their accompaniments and add breadth to fingerstyle or pick playing. It excels in folk, blues, rock, and country, especially for open rhythms, shimmering arpeggios, and "chorus" parts that need to stand out in a mix. For beginners, the tension and string spacing of a 12-string may require an adjustment period.

Sound Characteristics

The selected spruce top provides precise attack and good definition in the upper spectrum, ideal for the typical shimmer of a 12-string. The mahogany back and sides reinforce the midrange, add roundness and a woody character, while maintaining a clear response. The dreadnought format favors projection and volume, with present bass and generous sustain, while the bracing designed for tension helps maintain a balance between brightness, power, and chord clarity.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For transport and protection, a AJ/Dreadnought acoustic hard case is recommended as an option: 940-EDREAD.

wow...simply. for the price the finish is very, very good with a super pretty table wood, there are 2 strap attachments...the head with its 12 tuners is magnificent and its shape reminds me of the head of my sg... the sound is very pleasant and indeed allows you to discover the 12 strings...the play seems quite comfortable and the balance is correct despite the weight of the head. in conclusion it is a very good surprise. moreover, having an epiphone (even entry-level) at this price is always nice.

Very beautiful 12-string guitar model, well finished, which sounds really good, the string action is perhaps a bit high, which requires a bit more force in the presses, but well adjusted and with new strings it proves to be an excellent model for a very affordable price.

Very good value for money, very good stability of the different tunings tested, magnificent crystalline sound that knows how to give its effect. I recommend this guitar for starting on 12 strings.
