As guitar historians Tom and Mary Anne Evans once wrote, “The basic virtue of Guild® 12-strings is that they are very loud and [have] a clarity and definition of sound not normally associated with 12-string guitars.” One of the keys to achieving that clarity and definition is solid construction. While the body size and scale length are the same as our 6-string jumbos, our 12-strings are 1-13/16” wide at the nut, and feature a double truss rod system and our time-tested jumbo bracing pattern.
Designed in the late 1960s as Guild®’s first jumbo 12-strings, the F-412 and its sibling, the F-512, are two of our most enduring and popular guitars. The F-412 has an arched curly maple back and solid curly maple sides. Painstakingly true to its vintage roots, this new version of the F-412 has the same body dimensions as the original (17” wide, 21” long, 4.8” deep). It features a solid AAA sitka spruce top, high-quality ebony fingerboard with abalone and mother of pearl block inlays, “G”-shield headstock inlay and gold Grover Rotomatic® tuning machines. It is available in Blonde and Antique Burst.
