Guild

Description

The Guild F-2512E Maple left-handed 12-string jumbo acoustic-electric guitar brings the unmistakable Guild jumbo sound to southpaw players. With its combination of a solid Sitka spruce top, arched flamed maple back and jumbo body shape, this model delivers the shimmering, chorus-like voice that only a 12-string can produce. The result is a powerful yet balanced tone, perfect for everything from bold strumming to layered accompaniment. Outfitted with a comfortable mahogany neck, elegant appointments and an onboard Fishman-designed GT-1 pickup system, the F-2512E Maple gives left-handed players a stage-ready instrument that blends vintage Guild tradition with modern reliability.

Spruce Top and Arched Flamed Maple Back Deliver Powerful Projection

The F-2512E Maple features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with a flamed maple back and sides, a tonewood combination prized for clarity, punch and projection. Its jumbo body shape offers immense volume, while the arched back adds extra resonance and sustain. This design provides a lush, shimmering voice that allows every string to ring with definition, giving 12-string players the full, orchestral sound they expect from a Guild jumbo. Whether played acoustically or amplified, the Sitka spruce and flamed maple construction ensures tonal brilliance across the spectrum.

Mahogany Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard for Smooth Playability

Supporting the expansive voice of the jumbo body is a C-shape mahogany neck that feels natural and inviting in the hand. The 25.5" scale length offers a familiar feel with excellent string tension, keeping the octave strings clear and ringing. A rosewood fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, provides a smooth playing surface that responds well to both chords and arpeggios. With its dovetail neck joint, medium frets and comfortable string spacing, the F-2512E Maple is designed for effortless playability across its 20-fret range, giving left-handed players a reliable and expressive platform.

Fishman Electronics for Natural Amplified Sound

When it’s time to take the Guild F-2512E Maple on stage, the built-in Fishman-designed GT-1 pickup system ensures the guitar’s natural voice translates beautifully through any sound system. The discreetly mounted controls allow for quick adjustments without detracting from the guitar’s vintage-inspired look. Designed to capture the warmth and sparkle of the 12-string’s tonewoods, the GT-1 provides faithful reproduction whether you’re strumming big open chords or picking delicate melodic lines. Players can count on feedback-resistant, balanced sound that highlights the F-2512E’s acoustic character in amplified settings.

Premium Appointments and Reliable Guild Hardware

Beyond its impressive tone and playability, the F-2512E Maple is dressed with thoughtful details that enhance both form and function. A tortoiseshell pickguard, mother-of-pearl rosette and ivory body binding give the guitar a refined, classic look, while nickel-plated Guild G-Shield tuning machines provide stable, accurate tuning across all 12 strings. The rosewood bridge with a compensated bone saddle ensures precise intonation and sustain. Finished in satin blonde with a natural satin neck, the F-2512E feels as good as it looks, balancing elegance with durability for years of dependable performance.
