Guild Acoustic 12 string

by Brad O
(Columbia, MD)

You guys got back to me with a quick answer on my Gibson ES 175D. So I have another one for you. This is a 12 string Guild acoustic I picked up in the early 1980s. I'm not sure but it might be a F-512 but I'm not sure. The number on the headstock is 109485. Can you tell me anything about this guitar?

Thanks
