| OVERVIEW |
|
The quality and ubiquity of our jumbo 12-strings has earned 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." Designed in the late 1960's as Guild's first jumbo 12-strings, the F-412 and its sibling, the F-512, are two of our most enduring and popular models. The F-412 features an arched figured maple back and solid figured maple sides, a solid AAA Sitka spruce top, bound ebony fingerboard with abalone and mother-of-pearl block inlays, Rosewood bridge, pearl "G"-shield headstock logo, gold hardware and a pure nitrocellulose lacquer finish. NEW features include a tighter top radius, Red Spruce bracing, Ebony headcap, dual-action truss rod, slim neck heel, and Gotoh® SE700 Series machine heads. Available in Blonde (801) and Antique Burst (837).

| ELECTRONICS | D-TAR's Wave-Length Pickup and Preamp System with Load 'N Lock Battery Access.
The 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 new 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 of our acoustic/electric guitars. |
