Product information

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 .

About Guild USA

The Guild USA series represents the spearhead of Guild's series produced guitars. Each instrument is hand-built in the Californian workshop and is subject to strict quality controls .

In July 2014, Guild began construction on a new, state-of-the-art facility in Southern California . The manufacturing equipment was shipped from the previous factory in New Hartford and brought into the new production facility. Ren Ferguson, a legendary luthier, has been named vice president of production and research and development. Ren Ferguson's experience with Guild and his many years of guitar building experience made him the perfect visionary to set up and design the new Guild factory. The instruments of the Guild USA series are now manufactured in this factory.

Guild is ushering in a new era of USA production . The interpretation of classic Guild designs through an innovative approach and the use of modern technologies ensures that these guitars feel and sound better than ever and are sure to be enjoyed by any serious guitarist.
