Bold and Beautiful 12-string

You'll have no trouble being heard with the Guild^® F-412 12-string acoustic-electric guitar in your hands. Thanks to the F-412's jumbo body and Guild's trademarked arched back, you'll get amazing volume and projection. That also means you'll have an exceptionally wide dynamic range to play with, for more expressive performances. Rich, bold tone comes courtesy of the Sitka spruce top and laminated maple back and sides. Factor in the three-piece neck with binding for smooth playability, and the D-TAR Multi-Source pickup system, and you've got an impressive 12-string performer with the Guild F-412 acoustic-electric guitar.

Guild F-412 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:

• Exceptional volume and projection
  
• Solid spruce top for rich tone that enhances with age
  
• Innovative electronics for fantastic plugged-in performance

Exceptional volume and projection
You'll be impressed by the volume you can get from the Guild F-412, due to the arched back and jumbo body style. That means you'll be able to play with nuance, flowing between delicate passages and aggressive runs. Where other 12-string guitars may top out and start to sound indistinct, the F-412 remains clear and focused.

Solid spruce top for rich tone that enhances with age
Guild knows that the choice of top wood can make or break the sound of an acoustic guitar. For the F-412, Guild chose a solid Sitka spruce top. Chosen as much for its look as its tone, solid spruce has a bold sound with excellent projection. And because it's a solid-wood top, the tone of your F-412 will age gracefully, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by.

Innovative electronics for fantastic plugged-in performance
The D-TAR Multi-Source pickup system on the F-412 combines an under-saddle transducer, a miniature microphone, and an 18-volt low-noise preamp, to give the F-412 superior onstage sound with exceptional headroom. Controls inside the soundhole make it easy to dial in your sound.

What Makes a Product a "Demo"? At Sweetwater, "Demo" usually means one of the following: It might have spent a little time in our display room. A Sales Engineer may have put it through its paces to explain it to customers. It could have been tried out for a few days. We treat demo models exactly as we treat new gear. You get a full manufacturer's warranty, as well as Sweetwater's commitment to customer satisfaction. Other than it having been in someone's hands or hanging on a rack for a brief period of time, it's as good as new - at a great bargain!
