Designed in the late 1960s as Guilds first jumbo 12-strings, the F412 is one of Guild's most enduring and popular guitars. While it share many of the same features as the F512, the F412 has an arched curly Maple back and solid curly Maple sides. Painstakingly true to their vintage roots, these new versions of the F412 and F512 are the essence of what a 12-string guitar should be. These powerful beauties feature the same body dimensions as the originals: theyre 17" wide, 21" long and 4.8" deep, with solid AAA Sitka Spruce tops. The high quality Ebony fingerboards are detailed with Abalone and Mother-of-Pearl block position inlays. Both sport Guilds famous G-shield headstock inlay and gold Grover Rotomatic® tuning machines.
