A 12 string guitar with paired strings produces sparkling chimes that you could not get from a standard 6 string guitar. Yet the extra strings could take a heavy toll on the instrument. In standard tuning, a 6 string acoustic guitar exerts about 160 lbs (710 N) of tension while a 12 string guitar can pull up to 250 lbs (1100 N). Many 12 string guitars on the market are simply installed with additional strings without any other structural adjustments and they are doomed to be unplayable and short-lived. I've also seen quite a lot of 12 string guitars being overly constructed with playability and tonal textures being greatly compromised. With our BAT4CE 12 string guitar, I carefully strike a balance to achieve structural integrity and optimum playability and tonal richness.

BAT models couple a solid Sitka spruce top with premium mahogany back and sides. Sitka spruce is the 1st choice of most players for its articulate, clear tone and prolonged sustain. Compensated by the warmth and mellowness of the mahogany back and sides and further boosted by the innovative ToneFlow bracing system, these guitars sport crystal clear trebles, sonorous mids and a warm bass.
The Electric Acoustic models feature an under-saddle pickup, and a four-band Bromo EQ (low, mid, high, presence) with built-in tuner, ideal for live performance and recording.
Bromo Guitars are 100% made in their own custom built factory in Surabaya, Indonesia. With the accumulated knowledge, culture and resources of 3 generations we have built a state-of-the-art workshop blending cutting-edge technologies with lifelong craftsmen's skills to make Bromo the best possible guitars.
