Come through loud and clear with this Guild 12-string acoustic. It's true to the original 1960s model from the gold hardware to the G-shield headstock logo.

Like its six string sibling, the F-50, the Guild F-412 twelve string model features a jumbo body and the trademark Guild arched back design that allows it to produce extraordinary volume. Its characteristic articulation, clarity and balance come courtesy of its tight grain Sitka spruce top and figured North American maple back and sides. Its smooth playability, exceptional build quality, and premium specifications have made it one of the most sought after twelve string guitars in the world.

"Guild F412 with D-Tar"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I own several other acoustic and electric 12 strings, but none have the commanding, gorgeous, full sound that this beautiful Guild maple jumbo produces. The low end, the crisp single note clarity, are what I've been wanting to hear for years. The construction on mine is flawless; and it sounds great plugged in with the D-Tar system. The neck, while bigger than some, becomes comfortable with a little practice; and believe me; you will want to practice after hearing it. The only contact I have had with the manufacturer was a question about the truss rod, which was answered promptly, but with incorrect information. They informed me that it had two truss rods (which used to be the case with this model,) but mine only has one, with two graphite rods on either side. This change was made several years ago, and is the current standard arrangement for this model.
