Pre Loved Guild F1512 Natural 12 String Acoustic Converted to Left Handed with Passive Pickup inc Hard Case

This pre loved Guild F1512 12 string was originally right handed but was professionally converted by Charlie Chandler. It is in good condition with a just a few small dents on the front of the body above the soundhole and on top of the headstock. An under saddle pickup has been installed but it is completely passive so it will require an external preamp to work correctly (not supplied)

Guild F-1512 Natural

Overview

The Guild F-1512 Natural is a jumbo-bodied 12-string acoustic from Guild’s Westerly Collection. It’s designed to deliver a big, rich, chiming 12-string sound with strong projection and depth. This is a full-sized, professional-grade instrument suited for stage and studio use.

Body & Tonewoods

• Body shape: Jumbo – large, rounded body for maximum volume and resonance

• Top: Solid Sitka spruce (clear, bright, responsive)

• Back & sides: Solid Indian rosewood (deep lows, rich overtones, strong sustain)

• Bracing: Scalloped X-bracing for enhanced resonance

• Finish: High-gloss natural polyurethane

The jumbo body gives it strong bass response and impressive projection, which helps balance the natural shimmer of a 12-string.

Neck & Playability

• Neck: African mahogany with a comfortable C profile

• Scale length: 25.5"

• Nut width: Approx. 1 7/8" (roomy spacing for 12 strings)

• Fingerboard: Rosewood with mother-of-pearl dot inlays

• Frets: 20

The wider nut and full scale length help maintain string separation and clarity, which is important on a 12-string.

Hardware

• Rosewood bridge with bone saddle

• Bone (or NuBone) nut depending on production run

• Guild G-Shield sealed tuners

• Tortoiseshell-style pickguard

Stable tuning is especially important on 12-strings, and the hardware is designed to handle the higher string tension.

Sound Character

• Big, full low end

• Sparkling, chiming highs

• Rich harmonic overtones

• Strong sustain

It produces the classic lush 12-string shimmer associated with folk rock and big strummed textures, while still retaining clarity for picking patterns.

Ideal For

• Folk and classic rock

• Singer-songwriters

• Big rhythm textures

• Studio layering

• Players wanting a powerful, traditional 12-string sound

It’s considered a serious, high-quality 12-string rather than a budget entry-level model.
