The F-512 Maple is back and better than ever. A staple in the Guild lineup since the late 1960s, this American-made jumbo guitar, formerly the F-412, features a solid Sitka spruce top with an arched flamed maple back and maple sides. The F-512 Maple offers clear, focused highs and pronounced mids - perfect for a full, central, harp-like sound. Adirondack spruce scalloped bracing gives this model the shimmering highs players expect from a Guild 12-string guitar. Elegant features include classic Guild V-Block inlays, gold Gotoh hardware and a beautiful nitrocellulose finish. The exceptional build quality and premium specifications make it a worthy successor to Guild's historic 12-string.
This model is also equipped with an LR Baggs Anthem pickup .
