The 2022 Guild USA F-512E Maple in Antique Burst is a masterfully built 12-string acoustic that delivers the shimmering, piano-like tone the F-512 has become legendary for. Handcrafted in Guild’s California workshop, this model pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with arched flamed maple back and sides, offering bright, articulate projection and tight low-end focus. The mahogany neck with a walnut center strip ensures stability and resonance, while the ebony fingerboard and V-block abalone inlays add a touch of high-end elegance. Equipped with the LR Baggs Anthem pickup system, the F-512E provides natural, studio-quality amplified tone—perfect for both stage and studio work.
