Outstanding Design, Details, and Sound in a Robust 12-string Jumbo

Get the classic, full-bodied tone of a 12-string jumbo with the Guild F-1512. This robust 12-string jumbo acoustic guitar features a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides for full, rich acoustic tone. The mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard offers outstanding response and playability that's ideal for flatpicking and fingerpicking alike. Strum the F-1512 with big, open first-position chords and hear that classic, chimey 12-string tone along with amazing sustain and resonance that make the Westerly series acoustic guitars a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater.

A legendary series

The Westerly series of acoustic guitars taps into Guild's second chapter after relocating the company’s design and build headquarters from New Jersey to a Rhode Island furniture factory. This larger, improved space afforded a new direction and dedication to improving their already excellent craftsmanship. And the F-1512 is part of that tradition as it reflects impeccable build details and fine appointments ­— all with a focus on improved tone and durability. A genuine rosewood bridge and real bone nut and saddle enhance tone and resonance on the F-1512. In addition, scalloped spruce X-bracing provides additional resonance and sustain enhancement as well as ensuring long-term durability.

  • 12-string jumbo acoustic built with detailed appointments and expert craftsmanship
  • Solid spruce top with rosewood back and sides
  • Mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard offers outstanding response and playability that's ideal for flatpicking and fingerpicking alike

Great sound

I hadn't touched a guitar since my Goya 12 string was stolen in 1976. I picked up a six string at a garage sale and started playing again a few months ago. Then the 12th string bug bit me again. This 12 string is really amazing. It has great sound and is very playable. I am enjoying it immensely, getting back into the swing of playing a 12 string guitar. I highly recommend this instrument.
Rated 5/5

Outstanding Bold Sound

I have owned several 12 strings,all of them were solid wood, this Guild however is the best sounding by far and worth every penny. A special shout out to James Wroblewski! Sweetwater has excellent service bar none and my my purchase was made very enjoyable. I was nervous about the shipping but I received my Guild double packed with no problems or damage, it was beautifully polished along with being not far out of tune. Thanks Sweetwater!
Rated 5/5

Amazing depth of sound

Playing for over 69 years; my second acoustic 12 (first was given away); had the instrument plek pro procedure! I am blown away by the richness and depth of sound coming out of this guitar. Still have my first Guild F47 1968 original owner and this 12 just completes everything I love about Guild guitars! The price: incredible value. Also bought the jumbo Guild humidifier case! Loving it!
Rated 5/5

Everybody wants to play this guitar!!!

Tom and the rest of your associates involved in my purchase were excellent! My new Guild 12 string lacked electronics. The LR Baggs Anthem was recommended and your technicians installed it to my specifications. A new set of GHS strings was also installed and it sounds amazing! I also ordered a SKB case and requested that the guitar be shipped in the case and not separately. Again, it was shipped per my request. I received shipment on Friday, Feb 18 and took it to a local open mic on the following Tuesday. EVERYONE fell in love with it and just had to play it. I have had it for about 4 months now and it just sings! Thank you, Sweetwater for once again demonstrating why you are the best!

Guild Has That Chimey 12-String Sound!

This is a beutiful guitar and compares well with models costing considerably more. Well-crafted and built with care, it is very attractive as well. The 12-string sound is unmistakable for playing all of my favorite classic Beatles, Byrds, Zepplin and Nancy Wilson (Heart) songs. Could not be more pleased!
