Guild F-2512E Maple Westerly Archbac

Not bad over all for a budget model. Nice rounded sound and a good pickup with a handy low end/bass control. Pretty chunky neck which takes some getting used to (I've played 12s with thinner necks than this one). Lovely jumbo body and great looking guitar. 12 strings are Gretch's speciality and for the price this isn't a bad one to start with... I may not hang on to this one for very long as I'm sure there are much nicer ones but its serving a purpose for the time being before I upgrade. Pretty happy with this one.

For the price range this is a beatifully constructed guitar.The woods are quite plain but the grain is nice & the dark wood neck is a good contrast.Understated.The neck profile is slim & easily managed.Takes a bit of getting used to from a six string,but not too difficult to play.The sound is very bright & really rings out & resonates.The two strings plucked together sound really beautiful.Recommended.
