The quality and ubiquity of our jumbo 12-strings have earned Guild a permanent place in guitar history. As historians Tom and Mary Anne Evans once wrote, ?The basic virtue of Guild 12-strings is that they are very loud and [have] a clarity and definition of sound not normally associated with 12-string guitars.?
One of the keys to achieving that clarity and definition is solid construction. While the body size and scale length are the same as our 6-string jumbos, our 12-strings are 1-13/16? wide at the nut, and feature a double truss rod system and our time-tested jumbo bracing pattern.
Designed in the late 1960s as Guild's first jumbo 12-strings, the F-512 and its sibling, the F-412, are two of our most enduring and popular guitars. The F-512 has solid rosewood back and sides. Painstakingly true to its vintage roots, this new version of the F-512 has the same body dimensions as the original (17? wide, 21? long, 4.8? deep). It features a solid AAA sitka spruce top, high-quality ebony fingerboard with abalone and mother of pearl block inlays, ?G?-shield headstock inlay and gold Grover Rotomatic® tuning machines. Available in Natural (821) and Antique Burst (837).
