General

The Guild D-2612CE Deluxe Antique Sunburst Westerly is an exquisitely finished 12-string guitar that has been granted a solid Sitka spruce soundboard and a striped ebony body. So you can plug it in and really bring the bright mids and forceful bass to life, Guild have also installed a Fishman Sonitone preamp which sets you up with fuss-free volume and tone controls. The elegant Antique Sunburst finish, meanwhile, brings the aesthetics up to par with the rest of the build, completing a more-than stage-worthy twelve-string.

Wrote the following about Guild D-2612CE Deluxe Antique Sunburst Westerly 12-String Electro-Acoustic Guitar

I am a sucker for a burst finish and this guitar does it justice! What a truly fantastic instrument! Great build quality - as you’d expect from anything manufactured by Guild - but what a fabulous instrument to play and what a fabulous sound, with a great sustain. Also, if like me visual aesthetics are important, it’s stunning to look at, and that ebony back and sides just add to the wonderful burst and mother of pearl inlay. If you want a great 12 string, in my view, this is a winner!
