That particular model in the video Doyle is playing is a New Hartford made F212XLCE Standard which is a jumbo sized Guild. It has a solid Sitka top with solid Hog back and sides and internal Scalloped Red spruce bracing. It was part of the Standard series from New Hartford which were no bling alternatives with a lower price than the traditional series but built with the same basic construction and woods. They are Great sounding guitars and you can still find them on the used market for between $1200-$1500 give or take.
His signature series Guild was called the DD12-MCE and it was closer to the size of a New Hartford F47 with a shorter scale than standard Guilds 25.625". It featured an Adirondack top, Maple back/sides, Adirondack scalloped bracing, abalone inlay around the top purfling, roses inlaid on the bridges, special fret markers inlaid on the side of the fretboard, and some other unique features.
Hope this info helps!

TX, the Dykes model was also available in EIR. Richard Peterson has one on his Reverb website for a good price. Rich's model is the DD6CE.
Actually Rich The 12 string Doyle Dykes Signature version I mentioned was only available in Maple, not Rosewood. There were rosewood and Maple 6 string versions but not for the Doyle Dykes Signature 12 string. I didn't mention the 6 strings as the OP specifically asked about the 12'ers.
