I spent days comparing every guitar that Thomann has a demo recording of in order to find the best-sounding 12 stringed guitar. The Baton Rouge L1LS was the best-sounding one out of all of them.
For some reason, to me, the other 12 string guitars didn't sound as rich or as clean as this one.
When it arrived via UPS, I quickly got it in tune and strummed a chord.
It was an orgasmic experience.
Still, weeks after my purchase, it has the same effect on me and it's such a joy to own a guitar that sounds this good. For the price, It's unbelievable. No note sounds off, like on some of my other guitars. I keep coming back to this one because it just sounds so good.
The build quality is really nice, with only the tuners being ever so slightly unaligned. Also, it's not mic'd up. But the guitar sounds so good on its own, I don't even care.
You won't regret the purchase.
