I don't think I'm in the market for either, but I've just seen that a Guild dealer within traveling distance of me has both of these guitars in stock for roughly the same price (less than 10% difference).
It's just a bit of fun, but if you couldn't buy both, which one would you go for?
If you went for the 12-stringer, would it/could it be your main guitar?
The D-55 is the 70th Anniversary model, and the F-512E has rosewood back and sides. I suppose we could also consider the F-512E with maple back and sides as that's available to order at a price between the two other guitars.
