Hi all! This is my first post here as I just finally got my first Guild! And what better group of folks to share the pics with 
I was researching 12 string acoustics, and had settled on a Guild being the one. As my budget won't allow for an F512 yet, I set my eyes on the Westerly D1212. I look at the specs, all solid mahogany, bone nut and saddle, dreadnought size and looks great online. It had lot of great reviews here and on the acoustic guitar forum and so a few months back I decided I'm doing it, went to buy it and oh no! They were out of stock everywhere! Worse, Guild had is listed as discontinued on their site. I was a little bummed after getting to the buying decision and then getting skunked. Figured ok, now I have to just save for the F512.
Well cut to just last week I get an email that Sweetwater got more in stock, so I hurried and jumped on it, and nabbed one before they were all gone again. In fact, waited til they had photographed a bunch and chose the best looking one they had at the time. So here it is after playing it for a few hours, what ya think? By the way, anyone wanting one, contact Sweetwater and ask in serial# 3213049 is still available, its equally stunning! So there are more out there for anyone wanting a great 12 string. After it warmed up from playing it really sounds fantastic. Hard strumming, finger picking, flat picking appreggios, it all sounds good. Be hard to put it down and give my other guitars love at the moment. Ugh, I love my Guild! And so does my lab/retriever mix Cabo With the poly "sheenness", different lighting can give it different looks too, dang, need to take it out in the sunshine.
