Guild Westerly F-2512E 12-String Electro Acoustic Guitar in Maple Blonde

The Guild Westerly F-2512E Maple Blonde is a jumbo 12-string acoustic that delivers the shimmering, piano-like chime Guild are famous for, with impressive projection and a beautifully balanced tone. With a solid Sitka spruce top, arched maple back and sides, and a comfortable C-shape mahogany neck, it is built to inspire big, open strumming, rich accompaniment and lush, layered textures both unplugged and on stage via its Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system.

Combining classic Westerly styling with modern playability, the F-2512E Maple Blonde offers an inviting satin finish, elegant appointments and a responsive feel that rewards a light touch as much as a full-on strum. Whether you are adding 12-string sparkle to recordings, backing a singer-songwriter set or filling out a band mix, this jumbo delivers that unmistakable Guild sound with clarity and authority.

Classic Guild Jumbo Power

The F-Jumbo body shape and arched maple back give this 12-string its trademark volume and projection. The rounded, oversized body moves a lot of air, producing a big, enveloping sound that easily fills a room. The arched back adds extra focus and punch, helping your chords stay clear and defined even when you are strumming hard or playing alongside other instruments.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top for Clarity and Chime

A solid Sitka spruce top sits at the heart of the F-2512E Maple Blonde, providing the bright, articulate response that makes a great 12-string so addictive. Spruce handles a wide dynamic range with ease, from gentle fingerpicked patterns to bold, open chords. On a 12-string, that translates into sparkling highs, clear note separation and a lively, responsive feel under the right hand.

Comfortable Neck and Playable 12-String Layout

The C-shape mahogany neck and 25.5 inch scale length offer a familiar, comfortable feel that makes the transition from 6-string straightforward. A 1 7/8 inch nut width gives each string pair enough space for clean fretting, while still feeling manageable for players used to standard acoustics. The rosewood fingerboard with a 14 inch radius and 20 frets keeps things smooth and controllable all the way up the neck.

Stage Ready with Guild/Fishman GT-1 Electronics

Equipped with a Guild/Fishman GT-1 pickup system, the F-2512E Maple Blonde is ready to plug in and perform. Discreet volume and tone controls let you quickly dial in your sound without spoiling the guitar’s clean aesthetic. The GT-1 is designed to capture the natural voice of the instrument, so you get the same rich, chiming character through an amp or PA that you hear when you play it acoustically.

• F-Jumbo Body with Arched Maple Back - The large F-Jumbo body and arched maple back generate impressive volume and projection, ideal for 12-string playing. You get a powerful low end with plenty of punch, helping your parts cut through a mix while still sounding full and rounded.
• Solid Sitka Spruce Top - A solid Sitka spruce top delivers bright, clear tone with excellent dynamic range. This gives your 12-string that classic shimmer and definition, making complex chords and layered parts sound open and detailed rather than muddy.
• Comfortable C-Shape Mahogany Neck - The C-shape mahogany neck, 25.5 inch scale and 1 7/8 inch nut width strike a great balance between space and comfort. It feels reassuringly familiar for 6-string players, while providing enough room for accurate fretting across all twelve strings.
• Guild/Fishman GT-1 Pickup System - The integrated Guild/Fishman GT-1 system with onboard volume and tone controls makes it easy to take the F-2512E Maple Blonde on stage or into the studio.
