The quality and ubiquity of Guild's jumbo 12-strings has earned Guild a permanent
place in guitar history. As historians Tom and Mary Anne Evans once wrote,
"The basic virtue of Guild 12-strings is that
they are very loud and (have) a clarity and definition of sound not normally associated with 12-string guitars."
One of the keys to that clarity and definition is solid construction. While the body size and scale length are the same as
that of the 6-string jumbo models, the 12-strings are 1-13/16" wide at the nut and feature Guild's time-tested 12-string
jumbo bracing pattern.
Designed in the late 1960s as Guild's first jumbo 12-strings, the F-412 is one of Guild's most enduring and popular models.
True to its vintage roots, today’s F-412 w/D-TAR has the same body dimensions as the original (17" wide, 21" long, 4.8" deep).
The F-412 features an arched figured maple back and solid figured maple sides, a solid AAA Sitka spruce top, bound ebony
fingerboard with abalone and mother-of-pearl block inlays, "G"-shield headstock logo, gold hardware, a pure nitrocellulose
lacquer finish and the D-TAR® Wave-Length™ Load N Lock pickup system.

* The D-TAR Wave-Length combines a thin, piezo under-saddle transducer with an
18v, low-noise, high input impedance preamp, to create a system with
twice the dynamic range of typical 9v systems. The 18v preamp is
powered by two “AA” batteries and a voltage converter. With 18
volts, the signal has more headroom, so hard strumming won’t distort
as easily. The preamp also has an input for a second source, like a
magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer.
Two adjustable trim
pots, one for low frequency shelving and one for high frequency
shelving, allow you to fine tune and “set and forget” the bass and
treble frequencies to optimize the Wave-Length for your instrument’s
size and shape; enabling you transparently amplify the natural
timbre of your acoustic guitar with minimal coloration. The
soundhole mounted Volume and Tone controls give the ultimate in
final control your tonal palette.
But perhaps the coolest part
of the system is D-TAR’s Load ‘N Lock system, which allows
quick and easy “AA” batteries changes. Just unscrew the endpin
“collar,” remove the old batteries, and pop in the new ones. A
quarter turn of the collar is all you need to lock them in place.
