Hall Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just received an email saying the Guild F-512 is in production again now. Knew it was coming, and kinda been waiting around to try one before satisfying a hankering for a 12 string once more. Any thoughts on what we might have here? Looks like it might be August before they hit the stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Paul Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Chicago Music Exchange has had one in stock for a couple of weeks. Looks very familiar of course but I've not heard from anyone yet that's played a new one. https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/listing/guild-f-512-12-string-acoustic-sitkarosewood-natural/12968324 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Do not mean to out and out resurrect one of little interest, but for wiw I see Acoustic Guitar Mag. has an article feature on the new F-512. It's all aglow and I guess such could be expected from the magazine, but it does have fine specs for sure. I thought the reappearance of the F-512 might be noteworthy. Doesn't anyone play a 12 string anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 . I love a good 12-string. Glad to see Guild is producing the F-512 again, those F series Guilds are great. I've got eight 12-string acoustics and a Ric 360-12. . B) Here's my Guild F-412 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Guild has had more reincarnations than the Eagles. In 1963 they set the standard when it added 12 strings to its catalog. How the new ones sound, I do not have a clue. If anything, the problem for Guild is there are just so many of the old ones out there to be had.

Hall Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Yes, that is more like it. My faith has been restored. That Songwriter looks very nice also. I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acme97 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I'm a 12-string guy and have lots also...but don't own a Gibson 12-string (although played my uncle's B25-12 from the '60s for a long time). Out of them all, including Taylors...Guilds sound best to my ears and I'm not even sure it's that close. Might be John Denver's fault, he made them sound so good. But he was really underrated as a player, and he had that huge F-612. That may have been a custom build, or had to be ordered individually (since there are so few and were not a catalog item).
