GUILD F2512E 12 STRING REVIEW AND PLAYING THIS IS THE ONE

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out which 12 string to buy . I've been playing acoustic and electric 6 strings for years . ( badly, I might add) . So I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Keeping up the good work.

Hello again Ron and happy holidays! Hope you're having a nice Winter out in the desert. "Twelve-string players spend half their guitar time tuning and the other half playing out of tune." Heard that old joke before? Yours sounds great. Peace, man!

Nice demo Ron. I'm in on this one. Thanks.

I bought the blonde like yours and also bought the deluxe sunburst. The blonde is the way to go. So loud and bassie compared to the deluxe. Absolutely no comparison.

Nice. I have the F1512E and really like it.

P.S. That's a good point about more string tension maybe hurting this Asian factory guitar a little if you went up from 10s to 12s. What about just putting on slightly bigger E, A and D bass strings and leaving the octaves and the G-B-E unison strings the same guage? Kinda like what a 'Hybrid Slinky' set does for the bass sound from a 6-string electric if you get my drift. That could get you some more bass volume when fingerpicking without putting a whole lot more overall pull on the neck. Maybe. I don't know, just an idea. It does sound pretty damn good right outa the box. If you get another at that killer price it might be fun to try a custom hybrid string set.

I have two,12 strings 🎸🎸 1 acoustic 1 electric acoustic. I use one for open slide tuned E D C ect ect. EKO ranger 1960's Beautiful sound Play them both 24/7 🎸🎸👍🏼

got mine 3or 4 years ago ,maple ..love it

Howdy from western Colorado!

Can´t decide between this one or the Yamaha fg820. Would the mahogany body (sides and back) give it deeper basses than the bright maple of the Guild?

The pickup is halfway decent, but it still has that mid-range "Quack".

Please turn OFF jeck, and let to listen the natural sound!!!

How’s the action? How’s it play?

Yeah, I just bought one two days ago and I agree. Hadn't owned a 12 string in 30 years and decided I had to have one again and, yes, the Guild F2512E is one sweet guitar. Tuners kinda suck, but other than that, it's great!
