For your consideration is one of the most highly sought after folk guitars ever made - a 1958 Guild M20.
This particular one is from the "ghost era" label, and with a very low serial number (1016), making it likely one of the first M20s produced. When first introduced in 1958, the M20 was marketed as an economy, no frills alternative to some of Guild's pricier instruments. It has since become recognized as one of the best sounding vintage folk acoustics ever made. Played by many Americana and folk pioneers, such as Nick Drake (featured on the cover of his 1970 album Bryter Layter).
The M20 features the following:
Flaws and cosmetic blemishes here and there, but no cracks or major repairs. Structurally 100% gig-ready!
