Stunning, vintage 1989 Guild JF30-12BLD, handcrafted in the legendary Westerly, Rhode Island factory (Serial: JF300760). This "Jumbo Blonde" is widely considered one of the most powerful and well-built 12-string guitars ever made.
This guitar features a solid AAA Spruce top paired with a beautiful arched flamed maple back and maple sides. The jumbo body combined with the arched back design provides massive projection, crystal-clear highs, and a deep, orchestral low end that smaller guitars simply can’t match.
This instrument is in truly excellent condition, which is rare for a 12-string of this vintage.
- Action: Low and comfortable across the entire neck.
- Neck: Straight with plenty of saddle height left for future adjustments.
- Cosmetics: The Antique Blonde finish has aged beautifully, showcasing the premium flame in the maple back. Very minimal wear for its age.
- Structural: No cracks, bridge lifting, or belly bulge issues.
Features:
- Origin: Westerly, RI, USA (The Golden Era of Guild).
- Finish: Antique Blonde (BLD).
- Fretboard: Dark, smooth Rosewood with dot inlays.
- Hardware: Original gold Grover tuners that hold rock-solid tuning.
- Case: Includes original hardshell case.
This is a professional-grade cannon of a 12-string. Whether you are a collector or a performer, this Westerly Guild delivers the "big" sound these guitars are famous for.
