I like to research Guild models on my wish list so I have some knowledge as I visit pawn shops, yard sales, etc. I'll admit I'm better at buying than at playing, but I love quality guitars including their history if I can reveal that. I've got a '76 G-312 on its way to me.
When I look at guitar descriptions on the Westerly Made web site and in other places, the sound volume, tone quality, etc describing the F-312 and the G-312 seem very similar.
I realize there are different body styles involved when discussing Guild 12 strings (jumbo, mini-jumbo and dreadnought) but what are the real life experiences with the different styles and models? And Im guessing the different woods will add more variables. And then different strings, different gauges, different different different, all contribute.
One final note/question. My playing is primarily alone or with a small group on a porch. I enjoy a more bass sounding 12 string and intend to explore open D tuning. Thoughts or recommendations on this, strings, etc.?
Thank you for any responses.
