About Guild
Guild's signature excellence in acoustic flat-top guitar design has made its name synonymous with fine quality and craftsmanship.
From three models introduced in 1954—the F-30 Aragon, F-40 Valencia and F-50 Navarre—Guild founded an acoustic empire. The famous D-40 Bluegrass Jubilee and D-50 Bluegrass Special dreadnoughts were introduced in 1963 (at the insistence of Guild veteran Mark Dronge, Al's son), and Guild's flagship dreadnought, the D-55, first appeared in 1968. These guitars and many other Guild six- and 12-string acoustic flat-tops enjoyed widespread use and acclaim from artists and amateurs alike well into the ensuing decades.
The Guild GAD-JF3012
12-string version of our GAD-JF30 jumbo body model, with a solid spruce top, solid flame maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, three-piece mahogany/maple/mahogany neck, wood binding and a special pearl inlay.
Guild Jumbos represent an iconic guitar tone with plenty of balance and bucket loads of projection you'd expect fom a full bodied jumbo. Sweet mids, crisp bottom end and nice bright presance on this 12 string are abundant thanks to complete use of solid tone woods - JUST CHECK OUT THE FLAME MAPLE!! These Guild Jumbos seem to sustain forever and are in every way a top grade guitar at an excellent price point.
The guitar is constructed from Solid tone woods - Solid Sitka Spruce being utilised for the sound board with solid AAAA Flame Maple on the backs and sides of the instrument.
In addition to the main body of the guitar, the fretboard and bridge are made from Indian Rosewood. The neck of the guitar plays straight and true with the Rosewood fingerboard being smooth to play.
Other appointments of note are a bone nut and compensated saddle aiding resonance and intonation. Wood bindings around the body of the guitar which look particularly classy along with pearl inlays. Tuners are excellent quality Grovers.
A great spec, a lovely player and an excellent price point for all these features. It must be a Guild!
Is there anything else I can add??? - AH YES - CHECK OUT THAT FLAME!!
