About This Listing

Rare and high quality instrument. Guitars with natural finishes are often made of carefully chosen woods, the reason being you can't hide an imperfection behind a sunburst or a solid color. This Guild is very resonant, a bit like the Gretsch  from the 50s, that’s what it reminds me of at least. Entirely original, it is perfectly playable since it benefited from a neck reset, it left a small mark on the side of the fingerboard on top but the condition overall is still very nice. Original electronic and pickups. Original engraved tuners. In original hard case
