► Product OverviewGuild F-1512E Westerly Collection - Jumbo 12-String Acoustic-Electric in Natural
A discontinued model from Guild's Westerly Collection, the F-1512E pairs
two of Guild's signature traditions: the jumbo body shape that defined
the brand since 1954, and the lush, chiming voice of a 12-string. With
its all-solid wood construction and Fishman Sonitone electronics, this
is a serious player's instrument that delivers the full Guild 12-string
character at a price the boutique-tier USA models simply cannot touch.
The F-1512E has now been discontinued by Guild, and clean examples with
the original Guild case are becoming noticeably harder to source on the
used market. Endorsed players of this exact model include James Bay,
Andre 3000, and Simon Townshend, which speaks to its credibility as a
working musician's 12-string.

== WHY THIS GUITAR ==
Guild has built jumbo 12-strings longer than any other major brand, and
the F-1512E was the most affordable way into the all-solid-wood Guild
jumbo 12 experience. With the model now out of production, the used
market is the only path to one of these. A great fit for fingerstyle,
strumming, recording, and stage use through the Fishman system.
