Guild F-2512E Maple 12 String Electro Acoustic, Antique Burst Overview
The Guild F-2512E Maple 12 String Electro Acoustic is a powerhouse instrument that offers balanced and sweet tones. It's a combination of the two things that Guild are specialists in, 12-strings and jumbo-sized acoustics! Consequently, you're getting a premium build quality at a remarkably low price. It's a construction that consists of a solid Sitka spruce top and gorgeous flamed maple back and sides, with the back formed by Guild's proprietary Arched construction.
This method of laminating is unique to Guild guitars, and drastically reduces the weight of their instruments so that you'll get an agile, easy-playing feel, despite the F-2512E's impressive size. And it's a size that benefits you tonally because you'll enjoy tonnes of volume and an exceptional low-end presence, making every 12-string chord rich, full, and abundant in sonic detail. Together with the built-in Fishman electronics, you can take your sound anywhere and perform without any hassle.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionGuild's arched back construction
A unique feature of Guild guitars is the arched back construction method, which they have brought to their affordable Westerly collection instruments. It drastically reduces the weight of acoustics by removing the need for back bracings, allowing you to wield the impressive jumbo size with ease and comfort - no more aching back or lap after a couple of songs!
Flamed maple and Sitka spruce pairing
Expect crystal clear sonics. The jumbo shape of the F-250CE Deluxe promotes a bass-rich tonality with plenty of volume that's complemented by the maple and spruce construction. A Sitka spruce top adds in focus and high-end shimmer, in addition to tonnes of articulation to your notes - and as it's solid, it's only going to get more developed and mellow with age.
Meanwhile, flamed maple back and sides add in more top-end brightness, creating a sweet, balanced tone that's clear and precise. And thanks to its impeccable gloss finish, every detail of the premium material is highlighted for maximum visual impact.
Take your sound further with Fishman electronics
Whether you're performing or recording, you can do it with ease thanks to the Fishman Sonitone GT-1 electronics. These retain all the natural characteristics of your acoustics thanks to its under saddle design that scoops up every vibration and detail of your playing.
