We think you’ll like the guitar because it has a really low action and it’s not at all tiring to play.  The back and sides are sapele which tends to be similar in many ways to mahogany in sound and also in appearance except that it has long, wide golden stripes running through it.  The top is moderately wide-grained, presumably Sitka spruce, although it has not begun to orange and there is a possibility (we suppose) that it could be Engelmann.

The all-mahogany body of the D-125-12 dreadnought (12-string sibling of the D-125) boasts unique presence and balance, with clear, tight bass and warm, airy top end that make it a versatile instrument great for a broad range of styles. Its slim satin-finish mahogany neck imparts smooth playability and silky feel; premium appointments include mother-of-pearl rosette and inlays, and rosewood fingerboard, bridge and headcap.

The Veillette Terz 12 is a powerful and intriguing hybrid of many different concepts. Tuned up to the player's choice of G or A, and strung with unison pairs, the Terz 12 blends the full, wide sound of a 12-string guitar with the clean shimmer of a mandolin or bouzouki.

Although it's the smallest acoustic Joe Veillete makes (and one of the smallest we've seen), the Acoustic Gryphon is no decorative bauble. Tuned to high D (2 frets lower than the 12th fret of a standard guitar) and tuned with mandolin-style unison courses, the Acoustic Gryphon's celestial, sparkling highs and punchy mid-register give it unique punch and cut, and an unusually versatile range of performance possibilities.

The F-212XLCE Standard is a jumbo cutaway 12-string with refined features that make for a player-centric instrument with premium sound quality. It features a solid Sitka Spruce top with Red Spruce bracing and solid genuine Mahogany back & sides for a strong, balanced sound and superb dynamics.

This is a professional jumbo body 12-string to beat the band with, but only if they deserve it, finished in high gloss and including the older style Onboard Fishman Matrix Blender pickup, mic and preamp system.

The quality and ubiquity of the 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.
