Sporting a classic Chesterfield headstock emblem and vintage-shaped Guild neck, the Guild F1512 acoustic rings true with crisp, shimmering 12-string tone.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Solid Sitka spruce top Projects rich, crisp and responsive tone
Indian rosewood back and sides Articulate mids, big lows and smooth highs
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Indian rosewood fretboard Rich lows, pronounced treble, and clear midrange

The F-1512 combines two of Guild's most iconic specialties: twelve string and jumbo guitars. With their large, rounded bodies, jumbo acoustic guitars have been Guild's forte since 1954; combining this shape with the ever-popular 12-string construction results in a full-toned, impressively voiced acoustic instrument. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the F-1512 also features an Indian Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, NuBone nut and saddle, and mother-of-pearl rosette. This model also has a 1 7/8" nut width on a vintage shaped Guild neck, iconic Chesterfield headstock emblem reminiscent of 1960s Guilds, period-correct tortoiseshell pickguard, and Guild's lightweight polyfoam case. Available in Natural gloss finish.

I've played many 12 string guitars over the years. Martin, Taylor....etc, but this is one of the best 12 strings I've had my hands on! In addition to great tone (well articulated notes across the board), the action is superb! After passing it around for my bandmates to try, one member summed it up well by saying, "This plays like an electric guitar!" Anybody looking for a great 12 string at an affordable price, look no further than the Guild F1512!
