General

The Guild F-2512E Maple 12-string acoustic guitar offers that unmistakable sound that was made famous by artists like The Byrds, Bob Dylan and David Bowie. Its Jumbo size gives this guitar a lot of volume and a full sound, and you can amplify it using Guild's own built-in AP-1 Active Acoustic Piezo Pickup. The neck has a comfortable Slim C profile with a relatively flat fretboard and a wide string nut. It features a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and decorative pearloid details.

Guild F-2512E Maple: Full Tonal Characteristics

With a solid Sitka spruce top and maple sides, the F-2512E produces a clear and balanced sound. Its rosewood fretboard adds a touch of warmth and the combination of wood types ensures that all frequency ranges are covered. Even without amplification, you'll have a great sound at your disposal that gets even better when you plug it in. The built-in preamp enables you to fine-tune your sound via the Guild AP-1 pickup. The preamp features controls for adjusting the volume and tone.

Guild Westerly Collection

Guild have been building high-quality instruments since 1953, and their acoustic guitars hark back to earlier, vintage models. Each of the steel-string guitars in their Westerly series feature solid woods and are equipped with a number of tasteful, luxurious details. What's more, the headstock is adorned with the traditional pearloid inlay Guild emblem and all of the guitars feature a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard. The Westerly series offers top-quality, affordable acoustic guitars.

Wrote the following about Guild F-2512E Maple 12-String Electro-Acoustic
I decided to take a gamble on this Guild F-2512E as Guild make some fabulous guitars and it was such a great price...and because Bax have such a brilliant returns policy. I did wonder how on earth they could put together an excellent 12-string at this price point (£410 inc a Black Friday voucher)

Cosmetically, the guitar had a very dark stripe right down the centre of the top. It looked like Guild had rescued a pallet from a bonfire and glued it back together before sanding it down and then smuggling it through Quality Control during their lunch break. I honestly don't think it should have left the factory like that, despite being a budget guitar.

The action was pretty good, overall...perfectly playable, with a little buzzing here and there...but the guitar was brand new, so hadn't had time for the wood to settle down...and I didn't make any adjustments, fearing I'd need to send it back due to the disappointing cosmetic issue.

In fairness to Guild, I need to up my budget in order to meet my expectations.

I contacted Bax, who were excellent, as they always have been, over the years. They gave me a returns slip which I printed off and I repackaged the guitar exactly as I'd received it (the packaging was very well done) and sent it off back to them.

My payment was refunded promptly and my search continues.

Distance buying of guitars is always a bit of a lottery...so you really need to buy from somewhere you can rely on.

Thanks again for the great service!

Overall, I rate it at four stars...three stars for the guitar and five stars for Bax.

Wat een heerlijke 12 snarige gitaar deze Guild F-215E ! Alleen al de prijs kwaliteit verhouding is top! En uit de doos meteen speelklaar; waar vind je dat nog. Bax gunde me on the spot alle service en tijd in Apeldoorn om in de toffe studio deze Guild F-215E rustig uit te proberen. Klinkt zowel versterkt als on-versterkt als een klok. De tuners kunnen wel wat soepeler maar alleen deze kniesoor die daar op let. Veel 12 snarige gitaren in de hand gehad maar deze springt er echt uit.

Verschillende gitaren uit dezelfde prijsklasse geprobeerd, maar deze springt eruit. Niet alleen een mooi ding om te zien, maar qua bediening heel makkelijk en met een prachtig vol en gedetailleerd geluid in zowel de hoge als lage regionen. Top aankoop!

Ik heb even wat geduld moeten hebben voordat de gitaar in huis was, want tijdelijk niet op voorraad. Maar mijn geduld werd beloond!
Guild is uiteraard een prima gitaarmerk en dat ervaar je ook als je de gitaar uitpakt: Uit de doos is de gitaar al direct goed afgesteld en aardig op toon. Dus nog even goed stemmen (2x zo veel werk als normaal ;-)) en dan begint de pret.
De klankkleur is wat je van een gitaar van deze prijsklasse mag verwachten; wat een genot om erop te spelen en wat zingt zo'n 12-snarige gitaar prachtig!
Klein minpuntje zijn dat wat stroeve stemmechanieken, waardoor je soms ineens een sprong maakt bij het stemmen. Maar goed, dat is makkelijk te verhelpen en heel goed mee te leven.

Kortom, heel tevreden met deze prachtige gitaar!

J'ai commandé la GUILD F2512E le mercredi 05/02 à 17h, elle est arrivée le vendredi 07/02 à 13h, bien emballée dans ses deux cartons. Bravo, 5 étoiles pour la livraison!

Après quelques instants pour qu'elle prenne la température de la maison, je l'accorde - c'est long, avec 12 mécaniques à tourner...- et c'est le bonheur!!! la sonorité est magnifique , ample et profonde. Cool pour jouer mes morceaux préférés des sixties / seventies! 5 étoiles pour la guitare!

Par contre, grosse déception: La housse GUILD annoncée dans le descriptif (informations + caractéristiques)est absente, bien que sa présence m'ait été confirmée par le correspondant de BAX Music au téléphone. Finalement, alors que pour 529€, je pensais avoir la housse GUILD incluse, il s'avère que j'ai payé cette très belle et bonne guitare 30€ de plus que sur les sites concurrents. Pas certain que je commande à nouveau chez Bax music.... 0 étoile!

E' una buona chitarra 12 corde per chi non ha troppe pretese.Ha un buon rapporto qualita' prezzo.Lo strumento a mio avviso si puo' collocare nella fascia media.Non e' sempre detto che se spendi di piu' hai di piu'.Le rifiniture sono normali senza tanti orpelli ed il suono e' buono...poi alla fine e' quello che conta.Infine come prezzo e' una chitarra alla portata di tutti...Il suono e' buono ma dipende anche dalla muta di corde che vengono montate....
