Unfortunately, I have to sell a couple guitars...

It pains me but I can’t justify keeping my F-112 (Natalie) at this time. She is perfect for finger or flat picking and slower, melodic songs as the tone is even across the strings.

Nut width: 1-13/16
Lower: 15-1-4 x 5 deep
Upper: 11-1/8 x 4
Waist: 9-1/2

Since purchasing her I had a pro-setup done including fret level, new bone nut and bone saddle. I replaced the worn plastic bridge pins (included) with bone/tortoise pins from Bob Colosi. I replaced the old worn chipboard case with a vintage Guild hard case from Mavuser. Overall condition is very good with a noticeable finish scratch in the black part of the lower treble bout, back has a couple minor surface scratches but no belt rash, otherwise normal play wear. The dark Tobacco burst is gorgeous. The action is low at under 3/32 (0.80). Neck angle is about 1/16-3/32 down. The new saddle is low.

I’m into her for $1350+ but will ship for $1250 USPS mo, or check from active members to the US-48. Local pickup in Hudson, MA $1150. The strings are fairly new but I will throw in a pack of light or medium strings, your choice.

Due to winter approaching I will ship until Thanksgiving or less depending on the weather. After that it will have to wait until Spring .

Others possibly for sale: The F47 special Brazilian which is in the shop having finish work done on a gouge and finish cracks, so may not be shippable until Spring. In the meantime, I may unfortunately have to consider selling my Doyle Dykes DD6cme (sold) , if anyone is interested.

highly recommended seller and guitar, i've met both in the flesh 🤘 the case is likely a 90s D, rock solid factory case, in excellent condition. the new owner of this one will be smitten. Guild really nailed it with the F-112's. both the Hoboken and Westerly spec variants. Ive had one of each for years, and it pained me to trade away one of them just earlier this week (have to trim down and simply could not keep 2 F-112's any longer, even if they were totally different looking...), but i kept the Westerly variant from late 1975 which is almost identical spec to this one. i believe Mikeys is actually a touch wider and/or deeper in the body, than mine, but only by a fraction of inch. In my opinion the F-112 is the best 12-string, at least, for me. I also own F-312 and G-312 and while those guitars are certainly super special and more valuable monetarily, they have a sparkle like no other...but for just banging out 12 string chords, even barre cording the F-112, just comes so naturally, and sound so amazing. just listen to any Tom Petty song (Free Fallin, your so bad), he's actually playing a Guild dread mahogany 12, but it sounds exactly the same. Mikey it would be cool if u could hang onto it as it's a pretty different beast than F-312 or DD maple, but if u must sell someone here should snag it up. GLWTS!

Thanks for weighing in Eric. I was playing her last night. :cry: So sweet.

I’ll probably put a listing on Reverb and CL today though that is not my preference. In the mean time I added some measurements to the info above.

If anyone is in the MA area you are more that welcome to check it out. If I have to ship it I’d like to do it soon.
