Guild F-412 Standard Natural acoustic western guitar, 12-string

General

The Guild F-412 Standard Natural is a 12-string western guitar with a large jumbo body shape that provides enormous resonance space, audible in convincing bass tones and powerful projection. This is a truly premium instrument which is handmade in the USA, so authentic craftsmanship! The solid Sitka spruce top responds quickly and clearly, and the solid back and sides of African mahogany add warmth and richness. This makes for a balanced whole that is great for both fingerpicking and solid strumming! The forward notched Adirondack spar brace gives the F-412 Standard's wood stability and maximum freedom to vibrate. And the natural-coloured nitrocellulose lacquer allows the wood to breathe freely on the outside too, giving an instant played-in vintage character in sound as well as looks.

Comfort, quality and protection

Guild's Deluxe Vintage open-gear tuning machines ensure that all 12 strings stay in tune, which prevents you from having to retune often. But the F-412 Standard doesn't lack in playing comfort either: the C-shaped mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard are comfortable to hold. And many a guitarist knows that you can actually feel the use of high-quality materials when playing. So the guitar really comes alive. With this Guild western guitar you get a Deluxe humidified case, which not only provides solid physical protection against bumps and transport, but also actively regulates the humidity in the case. For an all-solid instrument, this is not a luxury but a necessity: too dry air can lead to warping, shrinking or even cracks in the wood. With the right humidity, the guitar remains stable, sounds optimal and lasts longer. The Guild F-412 Standard is a serious 12-string western guitar with the premium build quality and authentic sound you expect from high-quality Guild guitars!
