Guild F-512 Maple Demo by Trevor Menear

Guild

collapse expand iconDescription

The F-512 acoustic has been a staple of the Guild line since the late 1960s. The F-512 Maple Jumbo 12-string acoustic guitar features a tight-grained solid Sitka spruce top with arched flamed maple back and maple sides. Created on the same arch press that’s been a part of Guild manufacturing since 1985, the F-512 Maple Jumbo provides sharply focused trebles and an articulate midrange, perfect for a full, centralized, harp-like sound. Braced with delicate, scalloped Adirondack spruce, this model produces the shimmering highs players have come to expect from a Guild 12-string.

The F-512 Jumbo 12-string acoustic guitar's cosmetic appointments include the classic Guild "V-block" inlays, gold Gotoh hardware and a beautiful nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Exceptional build quality and premium specifications make it a worthy heir to the historic Guild 12-string legacy.

    I asked this question and apparently fell on deaf ears. My question was/is: What are the chances that I can visit a GuitarCenter that has this particular guitar in a store so I can try it? I seriously plan on making a purchase of this 12-string guitar (in cash) next month. Thank you, Larry

    I am very interested in acquiring this gorgeous 12 string. My question is, what are the chances of a guitarcenter near me (RI) having this "sweet beast" in a store so I can "test-it-out?" I prefer this F-512 (maple contoured back) & sides over the Indian Rosewood model ... but that would be nice too. Thanks! Larry
