Your cart is empty.The F-2512E Maple combines two of Guild’s most iconic specialties: twelve string and jumbo guitars. With their large, rounded bodies, jumbo acoustic guitars have been Guild’s forte since 1954; combining this shape with the ever-popular 12-string construction results in a full-toned, impressively voiced acoustic instrument. Built with a solid spruce top, maple sides, and arched maple back, the F-2512E Maple has the bright, jangly tone characteristic of Guild’s twelve string guitars. Guild’s signature arched back design allows for great volume and projection, long sustain, and a lush, full sound. The F-2512E Maple features Guild’s Fishman-designed AP-1 electronics, a pau ferro fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, pearl rosette, period-correct tortoiseshell pickguard, and a satin polyurethane finish. Available in Natural.

I am over 50 and have played for decades. I have several guitars. Electric, Electric/Acoustic, etc. I have been pretty loyal to the Fender camp but on advisement from a friend took bought a Guild 2512E. At first glance - Absolutely beautiful guitar. I tuned it a full step down to take it easier on my fingers and the guitar. I sounds beautiful and fill the room. However it has a buzzing that will not go away regardless of what I do with the string pegs or torsion adjustment. When using a capo, capo 2 for instance to bring the key to par, it will sound completely out of tune - as validated by my tuner. Likely indicative of poorly cut/spaced frets. All of this I just tolerated and still enjoyed playing. However the transducer control - glued inside of the sound board has now fallen loose - making a loud knocking sound whenever the guitar is moved. Not to mention that you cannot play in electric mode any longer.So I have owned this guitar less than 6 month.... my youngest Fender is 12 years old and has had no issues what so ever.... Guild - I hope that I am an anomaly. But it is pretty clear that the QC team was not invited to review this guitar before letting it out the door.-At what point are we embarrassed?

The guitar looks good and has a brilliant sound well recommended, it had a very tiny mark on it whenit arrived but I can live with that no problem.

Arrived Undamaged 🙏. Pkg'd in dbl📦 📦. Unfortunately no case nor soft shell. Sound is whats expected in price range (good to pretty good). No blemishes,did not need a set up (Luck?). Recommendations; tune a whole step down, capo and add 1gauge up. Neck is surprisingly playable compared to other 12's.

I was going to buy another Taylor or orangewood but after watching youtube videos I decided to buy this guild. I am glad I did. Came from sweetwater, and was in great condition. Great packaging to keep it safe. A thumbs, up sale.

I own too many acoustic guitars. This is one of my finest. It’s beautifully made and sounds amazing. Wonderful tone, distinctive jangle. I’ve always wanted a Guild 12 string, so the fantasy is finally over. Should probably get a good fitting case if you plan on getting one. This fits the same case as my Alvarez jumbo 6 string so I was lucky, unless both are traveling. If there is one complaint, it’s the lack of an onboard tuner. With 12 strings it might have been a great feature, but then this is the “affordable” Guild 12 string, so there have to be some shortcuts.

I’ve played these guitars and they are great. I decided to save a few $ and buy the “Used” in Very Good condition. I figured it would be like an open box item. But when it arrived I picked up the box(original packaging ) and heard this “clunk” inside. That doesn’t sound good. I get the guitar out and the electronics that should be mounted just inside the sound hole are swinging around unmoored in the guitar. Hence the “clunking” sound. Then I examine the body and the front has a major flaw/crack/? in the binding on the front(the side is starting to come loose from the top) and another pretty decent chip/delaminate/? On the back near where the neck joins the body. So it went right back. Now I’m just waiting for the refund of my Prime points and I’ll order a brand new one.

I can’t believe how out of the box perfect Guild fills the entire room with beauty! Easy to play with my 62 year old fat and stubby hands. However So Solid , I’ve played it a dozen or so times it’s still pitch perfect stays in tune for days! So stimulus has done me well Trump payed for three guitars and Biden Payed for this! I also love my New Ebony Less Paul Special Epiphone ! Rockin in the Free World 🌎

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He is delighted. The guitar is extremely well made and solid, the tone is beautiful, and the neck is well proportioned and easy to play.Sweetwater’s service, communications, and shipping were all excellent.
