NOG On The Way…1972 F112!!

[Central Florida Folkie]

Can't wait, Shawn. NGD a-comin'!

Woot woot! BTW, where in MA are you? My parents are from West Medford, most of my extended family is still in the Boston area, and I lived in Belmont/Cambridge for many years and went to seminary in Newton. Much love for MA!

Just north of Worcester, Shawn.

Any string recommendations for this guitar, guys? I’m assuming ultra-lights…and I always tune down a twelve a whole step..

Shawn, that's a really nice guitar!! And after all these years it being a factory second means exactly nothing, in my book!! Congrats! I love the plain fretboard, too!!

Thank you! It certainly has its share of scratches, dings, blemishes, etc. But like my D25M, don’t care - just want it to play well and sound great. Hopefully, this one will when it arrives. Fingers crossed!

I had an F-112 a while ago. All chime and sugar.
Enjoy!

Different manufacturers have different definitions for terms like light gauge, medium gauge, ultra-light gauge so I use the actual numbers. I recommend .010-.047 tuned up to standard.

For tuning a whole tone low I would use .012-.050.

There's more on gauging and tuning on this page:

You must have one of those mutant Guilds, that are so rare! :lol: Steffan

Can’t go wrong with EJ38 Light
10-10-14-14-23-08-30-12-39-18-47-27

Also a good idea to pick up a couple single .08’s if tuning to standard as they sometimes break. Tune that string up last. I’ve also substituted .09’s. I keep my 12 string tuned down a step to D but you don’t have to.

I'm pretty fond of mine. It stands up to any Guild 12 I've played, perhaps not volume wise but for sound it's so close to its bigger siblings that the difference is not worth mentioning.

Tined down a whole step I'd suggest you start with D'Addario EJ 38s, light gauge. I play my 12s at concert and not get EJ41 ultra lights or Ernie Ball Earthwood lights.

The F 112 is the sleeper of the twelve string Guilds. The clarity is superb, and plenty of what makes a Guild 12 string good. A friend does a lot of slide on his.
