Favorite F-212 Story/Moment: The day I opened the box. The guitar is in better condition than I expected.
Other observations/comments: I love the mahogany sound and this 12er delivers a wonderful warm tone balance. I had been looking for a Guild cutaway 12-string for quite some time and was fortunate that another LTGer knew what I was seeking. He used it for recording, but due to arthritis, was unable to continue playing a standard scale guitar. I've gigged out with it, but I mostly play it at home. When I'm not playing it, 'Bronson' stays well humidified and secure in the Guild Corral...
Coastie helped me name this one 'Bronson'. Pictured below between D40 'Woodstock' and GF-25 (The Fonz)
