I’ve been A-B ing my F112 and my G312. I can’t really find anything to dislike about either one. The dread may have a bit more volume and chime and certainly looks classier with the ebony board and bridge. The F112 still plays great and sounds great.
The back view sure is different. My first exposure to Guild 12s was my friend's F312. I have never gotten to own one and now they're ridiculously priced so when I saw a G312 for cheap, I jumped. I'm glad I did.
F112s are probably the best deal in USA made 12s. They can still be gotten in playable shape for less than a grand.
The G312 plays easily with light gauge EJ38s while the F112 needs extra light EJ41s. I can’t figure out why that is but I’m not really worried. I'm not sure I need to own both of these 12's, but when did that stop anyone in this forum.
