Overview
The F-2512E Maple 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 spruce top, maple sides, and arched maple back, the F-2512E Maple has the bright, jangly tone characteristic of Guild's twelve string guitars. Guild's signature arched back design allows for great volume and projection, long sustain, and a lush, full sound. The F-2512E Maple features Guild's Fishman-designed AP-1 electronics, a pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, pearl rosette, period-correct tortoiseshell pickguard, and a satin polyurethane finish.

"The Guild F-2512E Acoustic-Electric Jumbo Guitar"

This Guild really impressed me especially for the price. I don't think you would be able to find a 12 string acoustic electric guitar that sounds this good for $500.00 Good luck trying to find one. I've played many $2000 + acoustic 12 string guitars that don't even come close as good as this one sounds. I had to keep telling myself I was playing a $500.00 guitar that sounds more like a $2000.00 guitar. Guilds have always been known for their 12 string guitars since 1954. They are the loudest 12 string guitars on the planet and their projection is 2nd to none. I own two Martin 12 string guitars. One a Dreadnought and the other a Jumbo. This one I would never be ashamed to play on stage as I am sure people will think I'm playing a very expensive guitar. The only thing I can say negative about it is that I will have to have my guitar tech tweak it a bit as the action is just a tad too high but it's is still very playable. But out of the box you couldn't ask for a better guitar. It does not come with a case of any kind so it would be a good idea to invest in a nice hard shell case by SKB or any other reputable brand. Gig bags just don't cut it for me. Buy this guitar as I am sure you will not want to ever let it go and you'll never regret it as it's the best $500.00 you ever spent. It is most definitely a keeper and would be welcomed in anyone's stable. I play only 12 string guitars. I plead insanity. I am just crazy about 12 string guitars. Oh yea!!
