Guild F-1512 12-String Acoustic Guitar Natural Finish - Premium Quality for Performances, Recording & Home Practice

I ordered this because I wanted a 12 string acoustic electric with a great sound, and my past experience with Guild has always been great... I am however, disappointed with this guitar. First, I received it with the battery pack disconnected and rattling around inside the body of the guitar. Since Guild, nor Fishman provide any instructions on the placement of the battery internally or exactly where to plug it in to the control board ( which is inside with volume and tone controls, rather than external controls) I took off the strings and found the velcro inside where that battery attaches and figured out where it plugged in, and did so. I restrung the guitar and tuned it up. It seems to have pretty good tone and volume unplugged, but I was really disappointed once I plugged it into any one of my amps... Fender, Vox and Line. The electronics almost completely diminish the bass and low end mid range. Combined with the 1st string tuning key that pops when you tune it, and each time it does so that string goes back out of tune according to my ear and on board amp tuners, I decided to return this. I will have electronics put in my Martin or my Suzuki 12 string guitar instead... or buy another Martin with the electronics already installed... I have had such great luck with Martin, I don't know why I ever bothered with Guild... I won't again.
