I am the 2nd owner of this guitar. The original owner bought it new in 2005 and never played it. In the 14 months since I have owned it I’ve seldom played it, as I was unable to get used to the neck profile. As much as it pains me to sell, I’m only doing so to purchase another 12 string with a more comfortable neck profile.

Design and Tone Characteristics

• The Jumbo Voice: Guild jumbo 12-strings are widely considered the gold standard for rich bass response, massive headroom, and cutting highs. 
• Arched Back Construction: The pressed arched maple back enhances acoustic projection and mid-range punch without needing internal bracing on the back plate. 
• Tacoma Build Era: Instruments produced in Tacoma during the mid-2000s feature traditional Guild aesthetic appointments, heavy-duty build construction, and ornate headstock detailing.
