Baton Rouge AR11C/ACE-12 Auditorium Cutaway Guitar

Baton Rouge AR11C/ACE-12 Auditorium Cutaway Guitar

The AR11C/ACE-12 is a 12-string auditorium cutaway built for players who need comfortable upper-fret access without sacrificing traditional acoustic voice. The cutaway design, paired with a compact 650mm scale length and 48mm nut width, delivers responsive fingering comfort across the extended string count. This is a professional-grade instrument that balances practical playability with the shimmering, orchestral resonance that defines quality 12-string acoustics.

Tone & Construction

Solid Canadian cedar tops are prized for their warm, articulate response and natural aging characteristics—this guitar's satin open-pore finish preserves the wood's breath and tonal evolution over time. The combination of mahogany back and sides with a mahogany neck provides midrange warmth and focused projection ideal for fingerstyle and ensemble settings. The Baton Rouge BR-2P pickup system ensures clean amplification without compromising acoustic character.

Playability & Hardware

At 650mm scale with a 48mm nut width, this cutaway accommodates both traditional 12-string spacing and players seeking slightly narrower string spacing for comfort. Ovangkol fingerboard and bridge offer excellent durability and aesthetic definition, while 20 frets provide accessible upper-register range. The diecast matt chrome machineheads with black buttons deliver reliable tuning stability and a professional appearance that matches the guitar's understated aesthetic.
