I bought my first Guild, a 1990 JF30-12, three years ago last month. The seller reported it had been stable for many years. I wasn't all that sure it would remain stable. I thought I may be facing a neck reset by now. The saddle was shaved as far as you could go and the action was right...

Thanks to heads up from Richard, I bought this Guild Neon Light from Reverb. Got it installed yesterday over the door of my music room. Great addition.

I saw this guitar on the GC website. I feel certain it is not the model GC says it is. Just curious about what model it is... an F30? https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Guild/Vintage-1981-FB100318-Acoustic-Guitar-116139800.gc?rNtt=guild%20acoustic%20guitars&index=27

I thought I would share this for others who may be thinking of buying a Guild 12 string. It has been almost two months since I bought my new F512 rosewood. I already owned a 1990 JF30-12 (maple). Some folks thought I would sell the JF30-12 after I bought the F512. I find myself playing each...

Well after falling in love with my first Guild (JF30-12), I had to find out what all the praise for the F512 was about. Fedex delivered a new F512 today. Holy cow, what a glorious sound comes out of the F512. I have only had it for a couple hours, so not more than that to report yet. Very...

I know on the older Guild acoustics, like my 1990 JF30-12, the nitro was applied after the instrument was basically complete. Is Guild still applying the nitro after the guitar is assembled?

A Guild 12 string is a rare animal where I live. I was wondering how much difference there is in the tone of my 1990 JF30-12 and a recent F512 Maple. I see the F512 maple has a mahogany neck, ebony fretboard, a higher grade top, and perhaps different top bracing. I know a number of you are...

My new-to-me 1990 JF30-12 has proper neck relief (.006 & .005). The action is 6/64 at the bass E and 4/64 at the treble E. So all is good for me now. I plays great and sounds great. But I estimate the saddle has little if any room for further adjustment if needed in the future. The bridge...

I have been trying out a variety of different strings on my new-to-me JF30-12. What a great guitar, exactly what a 12 string should be. I am addicted to the sounds coming from this guitar. I think the strings it came with sounded very good. I was never able to find out what they were. In my...

I have a new-to-me 1990 JF30-12 with double truss rods. I have never owned a Guild guitar nor a guitar with double truss rods. The neck relief needs to be adjusted. There is less than minimum relief. My understanding is both truss rods should be adjusted equally. Right now the bass side...

I am new to the world of Guild guitars. My new-to-me JF30-12 has "Mar 10 1990" stamped on the neck block. The stamp appear to be made by a old fashion rubber date stamper. The previous owner thought the guitar is a 1993 ( probably the year he bought it). The serial number is JF300637. The...

I am in the process of shopping online for a used Guild 12 string. I have never seen one in my area of the country. I am far from knowing much about Guild guitars. I would really like to have a nice F512 but I don't think I'll find a nice F512 in my price range. Can some of you with...

This is my first post here. I have a Taylor 12 string and am looking at the possibility of moving from the Taylor to a Guild F512. In my searching I have not found how to decode the more recent Corona (make that Oxnard) factory serial numbers. I think I am looking at a Corona (make that...
