collapse expand iconDescription

The F-512 has been a staple of the Guild line since the late 1960s. The modern F-512E Maple Jumbo 12-string acoustic-electric guitar features a tight-grained solid Sitka spruce top with arched flamed maple back and maple sides. Created on the same arch press that’s been a part of Guild manufacturing since 1985, the F-512E Maple Jumbo 12-string provides sharply focused trebles and an articulate midrange, perfect for a full, centralized, harp-like sound. Braced with delicate, scalloped Adirondack spruce, this model produces the shimmering highs that players have come to expect from a Guild 12-string.

The F-512E Maple Jumbo 12-string acoustic guitar's cosmetic appointments include the classic Guild “V-block” inlays, gold Gotoh hardware and a beautiful nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Exceptional build quality and premium specifications make it a worthy heir to the historic Guild 12-string legacy.

    I Love this guitar! Everything about the instrument is flawless from the guitar case with a built in humidifier to the sound of the guitar. Just hearing the first chord inspired me to write music. I get lost in the Guild 512E's "Concerto of Overtones" and it sounds outstanding through my Fender Acoustic 200
