I am in the market for a good twelve string. I recently missed the opportunity to bid for a F-512(see previous thread).
I wondered what people thought of the Guild F-1512 versus the F-512. Obviously the price difference is huge and I wondered if it was fully justified by the sound( I have not played either), the F-512 seems to have a lot of bling but I am not really interested in that.
On the other hand I love the twelve string sound generally and am able to invest a considerable amount of time in mastering one, so I don't want to get a substandard one. But to swing the finance for a £3.5k(about $4K) for a f-512, it would really have to sound amazing.
I'd go to a guitar shop and try both out side by side but the F-512 only appears available to pre-order so thats not a possibity at the moment in the UK.
Any advice appreciated.
