Sound Pure's Take
serial # NN305003
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
Guild® twelve string guitars have set the standard by which all others are judged. The F-512 continues the Guild® twelve string legacy, matching a tight grain Sitka spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides to produce shimmering highs, singing mids, and a warm, focused bass response that truly sets it apart. With elegant cosmetic appointments, premium specifications and exceptional playability not commonly associated with twelve string guitars, the F-512 is one of the finest twelve string guitars available today.
