General

If you want a top-notch 12-string electro-acoustic guitar for your collection that offers a sound with a rich sustain, and a light emphasis on the bass region? Then look no further! The Guild D-1212E Natural is a Dreadnought that boasts lots of volume and warmth, thanks to the use of African mahogany, which was used for the sides, back, top and neck.

Guild D-1212E: transparent and traditional

When it comes to electronics, the D-1212E is equipped with a Fishman Sonitone Soundhole Pickup system. The Sonicore pickup and the preamp combine to provide a transparent acoustic sound when amplified. Using the basic tone controls, you can fine-tine this Dreadnought's amplified sound just the way you like it. Other noteworthy features are its traditional Guild C-profile neck with high-gloss finish, its solid top in natural lacquer and gorgeous purfling.

Guild Westerly Collection

With their Westerly Collection, the well-known guitar brand Guild, who have been building high-quality instruments since 1953, offers acoustic guitars that hark back to earlier models. Each of the steel-string guitars in the series feature solid woods and are equipped with a number of tasteful, luxurious details. What's more, the headstock is adorned with the traditional Chesterfield emblem and all of the guitars feature a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard. The Westerly series offers top-quality acoustic guitars at an attractive price and each guitar comes with a compatible Guild Polyfoam case.

Guild D-1212E Natural Westerly electro-acoustic 12-string guitar
Wrote the following about Guild D-1212E Natural Westerly electro-acoustic 12-string guitar
Uit assortiment, ik heb dan waarschijnlijk de laatste weten te bemachtigen. Wat een fijne gitaar, ik twijfelde tussen deze en de Takamine GD30CE en na een fijne test in de winkel in Amterdam na dubben en wegen toch de Guild genomen (op gevoel)

Wrote the following about Guild D-1212E Natural Westerly electro-acoustic 12-string guitar
Heb lang getwijfeld of ik de aanschaf van een 12 snarige gitaar wel via internet zou moeten doen, je moet zo'n gitaar toch even vasthouden en bespelen.
Bax-shop maakt het mij echter wel heel gemakkelijk met de aantrekkelijk leveringsvoorwaarden.
Zoals beloofd had ik de gitaar binnen 24 uur na het bestellen in mijn handen, wat een juweeltje !!
Gezien de reviews en video's die op het internet circuleren heb ik gekozen voor de Guild D-1212 E, met name de constructie, dubbele pen in de hals, en de massieve body beloven een kwaliteits gitaar voor een aantrekkelijke prijs.
Na de gitaar gestemd te hebben werd ik betoverd door zijn lichte bespeelbaarheid en de bijzondere warme volle klank, geweldig zoals deze gitaar staat afgesteld af fabriek.
Ondertussen een week dagelijks bespeeld waarbij ik slecht éénmaal licht heb moeten bijstemmen ! deze gitaar koop je dus niet om uitsluitend te moeten stemmen.
Kortom een waardevolle aanwinst waar ik zoals het er nu naar uitziet een hoop plezier aan ga beleven.
Het is een feestje om deze gitaar uit zijn luxe koffer te halen en te bespelen.
