Awesome find Aristera! Looks like the F612, F512, F412, and the Mark VII all have Asterisk marks next to their prices for special order only. $1000 was a lot of money in 1972.

Cool find, James!!!
As for the price, note that a D-25 was 1/4 of the price!!!!!!

Don't say Never Strang! I never thought I would have the opportunity to own one either. Stranger things have happened.

Does owning a 512 and a 112 count? I guess not ..that comes to 624.

I appreciate that but between the finances and the arthritis...
Yeah, but 'Strang, you don't need all those Taylors.

We might ask "why weren't more of these sold"? But I do recollect that Led Zeppelin, etc were all the rave that year. For that matter many folks probably didn't even realize that occasionally an acoustic guitar was used even in the heavy rock genre.
Today one can only imagine when and where the next F612 might show up from.

If Oxnard did decide to remake the F612 in a limited number I would definitely be trying to get on the list to buy one, Even if the cost was astronomical.

As does the D-55 on the other page. (kind of hard to see here but I have a flat scan).

Oh that's interesting 'cause I looked for that, but couldn't see it, so thought they must have moved it to regular production by then.
Now that I think bout it, isn't '72 the year it became a regular production model?
I'm thinking maybe that price list was printed before the decision was made.

So that's 12 more than 612, so you're good.

Shouldn't that be "Strang-er things have happened"? Or were you trusting us to get it anyway?

No, the D-55 became a regular production model during 1974. All that info you can find on page 178 and 179 of "The Guild Guitar Book'.
