  • Famously played by Tom Petty, David Gilmour and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Guild’s F-512 helped define the 12-string sound in the 1960s, and these iconic guitars continue to be among the most sought after 12-string models today. The re-introduced F-512, made in Southern California, continues this legacy through a jumbo shape, solid AAA Sitka spruce top, and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Braced with delicate, scalloped Adirondack spruce, this model produces shimmering highs, singing mids, and a warm, focused bass response. 
    The exact appearance of this item may vary.
