First introduced in 1987, the JF65-12 was a temporary rebranding of the legendary F-412 model.  If you're looking for exceptional projection and shimmering chime, this is it..  The JF65-12 is a unique design, featuring a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecarved, arched laminate maple back without internal back bracing. This helps project outward, leaving an impressive volume when played.  The flame maple back \u0026amp; sides is paired with a tight grained Sitka spruce top.  The result is a wonderful tone, full of clarity, articulation and a surprising warmth.  You get excellent note separation, leading to it being one of the best sounding 12-string guitars we've had here.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Blonde finish showcases the flamed maple and adds a nice vintage vibe to the guitar.  Thankfully, this one is in great condition - it does have signs of player wear, which is to be expected after nearly 40 years, but it's been well-kept and taken care of nicely.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe JF65-12 has a perfectly made 3-piece flamed maple neck, which beautifully matches the body.  It's a 25 1\/2\" scale length, with a 1 13\/16\" nut width for extra string spacing.  It's very comfortable to play, even by 12-string standards.  To handle the tension generated, the neck is reinforced with Guild’s signature dual truss rod system, providing long-term stability and precise adjustment.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOther features include Mother-of-Pearl and abalone block fingerboard inlays, an ebony bridge, gold hardware, and pristine multi-ply binding.  It's an ornate and truly stunning guitar. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe original hardshell case is included.  Setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, it's ready to go.  This Guild JF65-12 is a serious find for serious 12-string players.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: JF650359\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51616288276723,"sku":"84GUI019","price":3299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img50672_b2681965-b606-48f4-ae02-6b1ac143d5ff.jpg?v=1790964303","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/pre-owned-1987-guild-jf65-12-blonde-12-string-acoustic-guitar-with-ohsc","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
