1975 Guild F412 BLD 12-String Jumbo Vintage Guitar

Description

1975 Guild F412 BLD 12-String Vintage Guitar Many guys were interested in my 12-string - the same Guild F-412 but from 1980. I always dreamed of buying myself a 12-string acoustic! I chose for a long time, sought advice, read articles and reviews on forums around the world. I settled on the Guild F412 model - its sound is considered the benchmark for all 12-strings (it is present in many modern presets, programs, etc.). I wanted to get a vintage one, a la Pink Floyd (Gilmour), Bon Jovi…

1975 Guild F412 BLD 12-String Vintage Guitar Many guys were interested in my 12-string - the same Guild F-412 but from 1980. I always dreamed of buying myself a 12-string acoustic! I chose for a long time, sought advice, read articles and reviews on forums around the world. I settled on the Guild F412 model - its sound is considered the benchmark for all 12-strings (it is present in many modern presets, programs, etc.). I wanted to get a vintage one, a la Pink Floyd (Gilmour), Bon Jovi (Sambora), Guns N' Roses (Slash), Eagles... I searched intensely for about a year and found a collector's version from 1980 with an L.R. Baggs Dual Source system installed. I received it and gasped... it sounds like two grand pianos! The depth of the body is about 15 cm, and besides that, to my eye, its dimensions are one and a half times larger than all my other acoustics! The guitar arrived in tune!!! I was shocked by the build quality, the guitar was made in the USA. In short, I recorded a demo at my studio right away! If anyone needs it, I still have it saved - I will send it - I recorded Wish You Were Here. In short, to this day this guitar is my personal one. But since there was a very large number of people who wanted to order one like this from me over three years, I was looking for one in stock. I was lucky to snap up the same Guild F412 from an older year, 1975, in the same cool condition as mine. I don't think it will stay on sale for long ;)) The guitar was produced in the USA, Westerly, Rhode Island in 1975, it is a jumbo acoustic with a Sitka Spruce top, maple sides and a figured Guild back made of maple. The neck is made of 3 pieces of maple with walnut inserts, a double (!) truss rod, rounded fretboard and bridge made of ebony, all inlays are made of genuine mother-of-pearl, like on a PRS. The tuners hold the tuning rock-solid! In short, the guitar is perfect in all respects, everything is in tune, it sounds loud, mind-blowing!!! I will cite here a few examples of the most famous guitarists who play the same Guild in the studio and at live concerts: Slash (Guns N' Roses) Limp Bizkit Brian May (Queen) Dan Grigor David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) Billy Duffy (The Cult) John Denver It is probably impossible to list all the musicians who play this Guild. This is definitely a must-have, world practice! It is now increasingly difficult to find this vintage guitar in good condition, this one is in perfect order! See the photos... the guitar is over 40 years old, yet it sounds and looks like a million dollars!!! The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! I will deliver to anywhere in the world
