"Comparison of Guild F512 with Guild F1512 12string guitar"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I started with a Yamaha FG180, then Martin D35, and finally settled on a Guild back in 1978 when I purchased my Guild D50. Had a Guild F412 maple for a short period but sold it to finance a trip to Europe. Guild has always been good to me.Recently wanted to buy a 12 string and a friend had a 2016 Guild F512 for sale for $3000. It’s a beast and has all the refinements one could ask for: gold tunning keys, lot of mother of pearl inlays, etc. But I didn’t like it. Felt too cumbersome. Decided to look at the less expensive F1512 but was weary of the “made in China” tag. The reviews were good, however, and I bought one. Simply beautiful- and lighter and easier to play than the F512 from 2016. And with a jumbo Guild case and LR Bragg Anthem pick up it cost me $1200 less. Simply a beautifulguitar.
