For the price it seems like an OK 12 string. I just play for fun and would like a 12 string to play a few songs on. ANyone own one of these or have any experience>

150 huh? It wont be the best guitar but for 150 its not breaking your bank. The only thing you have to consider is that cheap guitars are difficult to keep in tune, and thats the last thing you want with a 12 string. It might become a pain in the ass to restring/tune/etc

It looks pretty cool for the price, but yeah, it might get easily out of tune... But well, risk it!

i play a lot of twelve string and let me tell you that playability is very very important, even more so than on a six string. It looks alright, but you may have to take it in and get the action set so its playable.

$150 is super cheap, so you can't expect much
