twelve-string
Paired-course fretted instrument
A twelve-string guitar has six pairs of strings tuned in octaves or unison, producing a fuller, more resonant sound than a standard six-string: He played a twelve-string on that track.
The doubled strings create a natural chorus effect prized in folk and rock music.
