Hi Mick,
My D25-12 is a bit of a conundrum, its a sunburst 12 Dread which I bought on impulse from an aquaintance.
I love my '72 all hog D25, and figured that it would be nice to have a Guild 6 and 12 in Dread format, but the neck doesn't suit my hands as well as my other 12s, so I haven't really played it much.
I'm an ex-roadie and have mates who work for all the major bands, including Tom Petty & the Heartbeakers, so part of it was that I really liked Tom P's 12 string Guild dread, but I guess his D25-12 is 10 or 15 years older than mine and probably cherry picked. Tom seeks out guitars like a bloodhound, and has resources and personnel that I don't have, I'm selling it right now and am putting the money towards something else.
So, to sum up, the D25-12 didn't do it for me, but that's only me, it's obviously great in the right hands.
