| The quality and ubiquity of Guild's jumbo
12-strings have garnered Guild a permanent place in guitar history. As historians Tom and
Mary Anne Evans once wrote, "the basic virtue of Guild 12-strings is that they are very
loud and [have] a clarity and definition of sound not normally associated with 12-string
guitars."
One of the keys to achieving that clarity and definition is the solid construction that
their craftsmen employ. While the body size and scale length are the same as that of their 6-string
jumbos, the 12-strings are 1-13/16" wide at the nut, feature a double truss rod system and
our time-proven jumbo bracing pattern. All Guild guitars are accompanied by a deluxe archtop case.
Designed in the late 1960’s and painstakingly true to its vintage roots, the F512
features solid Rosewood back and sides and is the essence of what a 12-string guitar should be. These
powerful beauties feature the same body dimensions as the originals: they’re 17" wide, 21"
long and 4.8" deep, with solid AAA Sitka Spruce tops. The high quality Ebony fingerboards
are detailed with Abalone and Mother-of-Pearl block position inlays. They sport Guild’s
famous G-shield headstock inlay and gold Grover Rotomatic® tuning machines. |

| The D-TAR Wave-Length combines a thin, piezo
under-saddle transducer with an 18v, low-noise, high input impedance preamp, to create a
system with twice the dynamic range of typical 9v systems. The 18v preamp is powered by
two “AA” batteries and a voltage converter. With 18 volts, the signal has more headroom,
so hard strumming won’t distort as easily. The preamp also has an input for a second
source, like a magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer.
Two adjustable trim pots, one for low frequency shelving and one for high frequency
shelving, allow you to fine tune and “set and forget” the bass and treble frequencies to
optimize the Wave-Length for your instrument’s size and shape; enabling you transparently
amplify the natural timbre of your acoustic guitar with minimal coloration. The soundhole
mounted Volume and Tone controls give the ultimate in final control your tonal palette.
But perhaps the coolest part of the system is D-TAR’s Load ‘N Lock system, which allows
quick and easy “AA” batteries changes. Just unscrew the endpin “collar,” remove the old
batteries, and pop in the new ones. A quarter turn of the collar is all you need to lock
them in place. D-TAR Wave-Length pickups are standard on all Guild acoustic/electric
guitars.
