Anybody regret buying a Guild F-1512 jumbo 12-string guitar?
Product L I N K
Is there anything I should know about, such as belly-bulge or binding issues? If you have one, what tuning is it in most of the time? Also, what strings do you use? Thank you! Last edited by Fritz the Cat; 05-12-2024 at 08:07 PM.

Nope. > Is there anything I should know about, such as belly-bulge or binding issues? Nope > If you have one, what tuning is it in most of the time? Tuned down a semi tone to 'D#' "standard" intervals; A=440. > Also, what strings do you use? {.010 - .047}, various brands, usually coated. You didn't ask, but I fingerpick all my guitars using my nails as picks. For more pertinent info, especially on the F-1512, please see the very recent thread entitled "Entering the world of 12 strings": https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=685168 > Thank you! You are welcome, (_o)===### Don .

I just got mine, so I don't have long term ownership experience. I haven't even changed the strings yet. No issues I have come across yet. Currently E Standard, but will probably will tune down a half step when I replace the strings. Not sure what gauge I will pick as I'm not sure what strings I will end up using. Probably 11s or 12s depending on what strings I settle on.

No, but I do regret not buying the GAD version from the early-2K's...

Has anyone ever had a Guild F-1512 stand by your bed at night and watch you sleep?

Ha! No, but my F-512 sits on a stand in my music room and continues to tease my Martin dreadnoughts about being small and quiet. I thought I heard one say "fatso" under its breath.
