Guild F-512E, 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Description: The Definitive 12-string Acoustic Guitar Guild defined the 12-string sound with some of the most sought-after models ever produced. Having more strings shouldn’t lead to a muddier sound, and that's why legends like Tom Petty, David Gilmour, and Stevie Ray Vaughan all turned to Guild jumbo acoustics for their 12-strings needs. The F-512E is a faithful acoustic-electric re-creation of those early California-built 12-string acoustics that defined a generation. Complete with a jumbo rosewood body, Sitka spruce top, scalloped internal bracing, and an LR Baggs Anthem acoustic pickup, the F-512E delivers significantly more volume and clarity than a standard 12-string guitar. Focused bass, shimmering highs, and resonant mids with excellent response to player dynamics truly set this guitar a notch above the rest — if you’re after a US-made 12-string guitar with unbeatable clarity, the Guild F-512E is the instrument for you.Premium jumbo projection The jumbo body has a look and Sweetwater is an Authorized Guild Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty and 55 point inspection Guild F-512E 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Indian Rosewood Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, and Ebony Fingerboard - Natural The Definitive 12-string Acoustic Guitar Guild defined the 12-string sound with some of the most sought-after models ever produced.

An impressive feat of 12-string engineering, the Guild F-512E's jumbo body gives doubled notes extra room to bloom and develop their volume, shape, and definition. Such complex depth is what made Guild 12-strings the obvious choice for many top artists, including John Denver and Pete Townsend of The Who. Extra room in the sound chamber also means more dynamic range and response. Strumming hard forces more air through the instrument — thus creating louder and more musical vibrations. Meanwhile, strumming soft retains dynamic resonance that's balanced and full. Additionally, tucked inside the F-512E is scalloped Adirondack spruce, adding stability. The bottom line? You can trust the F-512E sounds like a 12-string should — rich and full, but never muffled.Classic tonewoods with a nitro finish Premium tonewoods ensure the Guild F-512E delivers top-of-the-line tone with a classic look and feel that's complete with a modern nitro finish. Its AAA Sitka spruce top is a natural winner that sets the modern standard for acoustic guitars with full, meaty tone, rich fundamentals, and fewer overtones to muddy your 12-string’s clarity. Solid rosewood back and sides deliver booming lows and chiming highs, a perfect pairing with the jumbo body, while the 3-piece neck made of mahogany with a center walnut strip supports the body with a sturdy but smooth "C"-shaped neck. The crowning touch is the F-512E’s hearty and dark ebony fingerboard with oversized block inlays and railroad purfling for an eye-catching neck that also contributes to tone. This tonewood collection is truly a work of art. When it’s time to bust out a 12-string for the studio or the stage, Sweetwater guitarists know to reach for a Guild F-512E.Deluxe LR Baggs electronics The onboard LR Baggs Anthem Acoustic Pickup is the result of over 30 years of development. It’s strictly a well-designed microphone that picks up your guitar — clean, clear, and full of dynamics. While many guitar mics are prone to feedback or sound thin, the LR Baggs Anthem is like having your acoustic's natural sound turned up loud, so its just like it should be: organic and warm without any feedback. Plus, the Anthem Pickup has built-in volume and tone controls for dialing in your sound just how you like it.Guild F-512E Features: Jumbo body Solid rosewood back and sides yield loud, clear projection with exceptional definition Scalloped spruce sound hole bracing for extra response, balanced bass, and added volume Resonant solid AAA Sitka Spruce top 3-piece mahogany neck with center walnut strip and “C” shape profile Bound fingerboard, headstock, and body Ebony fingerboard with natural mother-of-pearl and abalone inlays Railroad track purfling and backstrip Gotoh SE700 tuners Premium nitrocellulose finish LR Baggs Anthem pickup with volume and tone controls SpecificationDetail String Type Steel Number of Strings 12 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Jumbo Body Style No Cutaway Back & Sides Wood Solid Indian Rosewood Top Wood AAA Sitka Spruce Finish Nitrocellulose lacquer Color Natural Body Bracing Scalloped Adirondack Spruce Binding White with B/W/B/W Trim Neck Wood 3-piece Mahogany/Walnut/Mahogany Neck Shape C profile Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Mother-of-pearl and Abalone Blocks Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25.625" Nut Width 1.875" Nut/Saddle Material Bone/Bone Bridge Material Rosewood Tuning Machines Gotoh Gold SE701 Open-gear Electronics LR Baggs Anthem System with Volume and Tone Control Strings D'Addario EXP, .010-.047 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
