The Guild F-512E Maple is built for incredible tone and a lifetime of playing enjoyment.
This 12-string jumbo features a solid Sitka spruce top and maple back and sides - a tonewood pairing that has become legendary for beautiful, bold tone that spans the high, middle, and low ranges equally. The F-512E Maple also features a gorgeous mahogany neck with walnut strip and an ebony fingerboard that is incredibly playable, smooth, and responsive - great for fingerpicking, flatpicking, and strumming chords. This stellar acoustic also features scalloped Adirondack spruce X-bracing for further tonal support and long life. And when you are ready to plug in, the F-512E has LR Baggs Anthem electronics onboard for stellar amplified acoustic tone.
History of the Guild F-512E
Designed in the late 1960s as Guild's first jumbo 12-string, the F-512E continues to win over 12-string enthusiasts who love the projection, volume, and rich tone of this seminal acoustic. Legendary players like Pete Townshend, Brian May, and John Denver fell in love with the bold tone and incredible volume of this legendary acoustic. From folk to rock, the F-512E has found its way onto many great recordings, earning a reputation for incredible miked tone in the studio.
Outstanding appointments and fine features
The craftsmanship of the F-512E is truly top-notch. From the scalloped X-bracing to the gorgeous nitrocellulose gloss finish, the attention to detail on the F-512E sets it apart. A genuine Indian rosewood bridge and bone nut and saddle provide wonderful tonal support. An eye-catching mother-of-pearl and abalone V-block inlay on the ebony fingerboard are added visual delights that make your playing experience all the more enjoyable. Gotoh SE700 open-gear tuners look classic and keep you in tune.
