Guild F-2512E Maple Jumbo Body 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Blonde)

Description

Iconic Guild Looks, Lively 12-string Textures
Here’s a Guild with all the makings of a classic: an arched-back jumbo body, a rich 12-string sound, and a vintage-inspired look – all at a great price. The Guild F-2512E Maple’s bold projection and lively tone set it apart in a mix, as do its folksy 12-string chorused textures. Its Slim C neck profile with 1-7/8″ nut width strikes a good balance between 6-string familiarity and 12-string comfort. This guitar belongs to the Westerly series of acoustics and pays tribute to Guild’s golden-era flat tops with some exciting vintage specs and a retro red tortoiseshell pickguard. The F-2512E Maple includes the AP-1 pickup for a clean sound that plugs straight into a PA.

Guild Acoustics: a heritage built on great woods and features

Guild’s heritage as one of America’s premier early guitar makers is acknowledged in the F-2512E Maple. Solid Sitka spruce and maple meet in a Guild Jumbo body with an arched back for a big sound and great playing experience. A real bone nut and saddle deliver golden-era sustain and clarity. And a 1960s red tortoiseshell pickguard gives this guitar a look that was made to be seen.

Guild AP-1 pickup captures this Westerly’s natural acoustic voice

The sound is full and dynamic onstage, and it pairs great with a microphone for recording parts at home or in the studio. Volume and tone controls are mounted directly in the soundhole for easy access, and for a look that won’t detract from your guitar’s natural beauty.

Engineered for a comfortable playing experience
