Vintage 1972 Guild F-20 Troubador Acoustic Guitar

Miami, Florida, 331**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$1695

This is a clean guitar. It's not mint. It does have some light scratchiness and some graininess in the finish. By graininess, I mean that you can feel the grain of the wood in some areas, most notably on the spruce top on the lower treble bout. I guess they used a very light coat of finish. The action is on the high side. I measured slightly over 1 / 8 of an inch from the top of the 14th fret to the bottom of the 6th string. And the saddle is low. So, the action is definitely NOT low, but it's ... more

1954 Guild X-350 Stratford Electric Archtop - Very Early Example

Piedmont, South Carolina, 296**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$3799

This Guild X-350 was made in the original Guild factory in Manhattan, largely by craftsman who had come over from Epiphone following a strike at the factory there. Guild was founded near the end of 1952 and this guitar was made in 1954, the first year of this model. This was so early in production that it comes before some of the custom logo parts were in place which is why the original pickguard on this guitar consists of multi-ply black-white plastic rather than the solid black Guild logo ... more
