GUILD ITALIA F-512 MAPLE BLONDE NITRO

The F-512 Maple is back and it's better than ever. Known in the past as F-512, this jumbo made in the USA has been permanently in the Guild catalog since the early 1960s. It has a selected solid Sitka spruce top, arched bottom in solid flamed maple and maple bands, the handle is in mahogany (profile C) with central Walnut reinforcement, the guitar scale is 651 mm, the 48 mm nut is in bone like the crossbar. Produced on the arc press present in the Guild factory since 1985, the F-512 Maple offers defined and brilliant highs and an articulated mid-range perfect for a harp-style sound. The chain is made of Adirondack spruce to increase the sound projection of the instrument. This model produces brilliant highs (thanks to the maple), defined mids and a warm, full-bodied low response that make it one of the most recognizable 12-string Guilds of all time. The elegant finishes include the classic Guild “V-block” inlays on an Ebony keyboard, open and golden Gotoh SE701 hardware and mechanics, finally a beautiful lacquer finish in glossy natural nitrocellulose completes the construction qualities that make it one of Guild's most interesting 12-string.
