Description & Specs

One of One: The GSR F-512 #4000

Guild celebrates its California facility’s 4000th production guitar with the very first Guild Special Run: the GSR F-512 #4000. 

In 2014, Guild opened its new state-of-the-art facility on Pacific Avenue in Oxnard, California. After making top-of-the-line guitars for over half a century in numerous locations along the eastern seaboard, the move to California signified a shift for the storied brand, taking with them their timeless construction techniques, as well as much of the original equipment from their very first New York factory and the old-world philosophies that made early Guilds so vaunted, and introducing the cutting-edge technology and innovative vision that would usher the brand into a new golden age. 

Based on the F-512, Guild’s jumbo 12-string model, the GSR F-512 #4000 pairs Guild’s superb luthiery with some of the highest grade materials available, including a AAAAA-grade Adirondack spruce top and matching solid Madagascar Rosewood sides, back, peg head, and truss rod cover, scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, railroad track fingerboard purfling, fully bound headstock, MOP V-block inlays, and a MOP and abalone “Flying G” inlay at the 12th fret. 

This carefully crafted masterpiece responds with bright, beautiful highs, balanced mids, and rich, tight bass and comes equipped with an LR Baggs Anthem pickup system to offer full tonal versatility.

It’s the only GSR F-512 #4000 ever made and the only place you can get it is Chicago Music Exchange. Call, click, or stop in to own a historic work by one of the industry’s most artful manufacturers.

We're right off the CTA Brown Line 'Paulina' Stop Just North of Belmont and just West of Ashland.

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.

If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.

If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).

Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!

We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days. CME strives to make sure all customers are happy with their experience. It is our priority to provide great service along with great gear. We always want to be helpful, and open to your feedback. Please let us know your thoughts! If you have any questions, we’re here for you!

Feel free to email us at customerservice@chicagomusicexchange.com or give us a call at (773) 525-7773.
