The Guild F-2512CE Deluxe Antique Sunburst is thanks to its huge jumbo shape with cutaway and its resulting powerful sound excellent for expressive strumming and vocal accompaniment. In addition, the 12-string acoustic guitar produces a natural chorus effect, which is very clear due to the solid top. To be able to reproduce the acoustic sound even amplified unadulterated, the instrument is equipped with a high-quality Fishman pickup system. At the same time the flat neck guarantees an easy playability in all 20 frets. Visually, the Guild F-2512CE Deluxe is rounded off by an eye-catching antique sunburst finish that is accentuated by fine inlay work and a large tortoise pickguard.
Construction and woods
Using a construction consisting of a Sitka spruce top and a laminated curly maple body, the acoustic guitar produces a powerful and defined sound that develops with a quick response. The mahogany neck is equipped with a 'C' profile, which allows the player a comfortable handling. Thus, the entire pau ferro fingerboard can be accessed comfortably.
Hardware and Design
To ensure clean intonation throughout the 648mm scale length, the compensated bridge nut and 48mm wide nut are made of bone. Chrome-plated die-cast tuners sorgen also ensure precise tuning of the 12 steel strings, which are fixed with plastic pins in a pau-ferro bridge. Both the fingerboard and the top are edged with a delicate ivory ABS binding, which creates a tasteful contrast to the tonewoods and the eye-catching finish.
