This is a Encore 12 string mode; E 400 N 12. In all round fiar condition and plays and sounds great. Keeps in tune day after day in E or D. Has been kept in tune a tone down just as precaution against stress. But tunes , plays , and stays in tune when in E and there are non other than my personal precautions for keeping it a tone down ( i check my tyre pressures too as a matter of safety )
