Guild Guitars were one of the first companies to put 12-strings on the map in the 1960s, singlehandedly establishing the industry standard for double-course guitars. The huge, powerful sound that we associate with 12-strings? Guild's handiwork. This 1983 D-80-12 is an excellent example of their hallmark voice with East Indian Rosewood back and sides and a Spruce top. Built like a brick house, this 12-string is equally suited to delicate fingerstyle and aggressive flatpicking, with miles of sustain and an L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup for unrivalled clarity when amplified. This particular 12-string was custom built by the then-Master Luthier of Guild Guitars before Jerre Haskew, the former president of the company who hired Kim Walker to save it and pave the way for his own work, acquired the instrument--and we trust Jerre when he tells us that this is one of the best Guild 12-Strings he's ever played. If you're interested in the classic 12-string sound in an iconic package with smooth action and a sweet, fiery sunburst finish, look no further than this Guild D-80-12.
