1997 Guild JF‑30E Blond – Westerly, RI – Excellent Condition – OHSC – Ships Free

Description: This is a beautiful 1997 Guild JF‑30E in the highly sought‑after Blond finish, built in the legendary Westerly, Rhode Island factory. If you’re looking for a big, shimmering, classic Guild jumbo with maple clarity and huge projection, this one absolutely delivers.

Condition: This guitar is in very good to excellent condition for its age. It was recently restrung and had a fresh truss‑rod adjustment, so it plays cleanly up the neck with comfortable action and solid intonation. Electronics are fully functional. Only a few light surface scratches are present — they’re so faint they don’t even show up in photos. The serial number label came unstuck from the inside of the guitar, but I fished it out and will include it for you in the case.

This is a clean, well‑cared‑for Westerly jumbo ready to be played and enjoyed.

Specifications:

  • Solid spruce top
  • Arched maple back (Guild specialty)
  • Curly maple sides
  • Maple neck
  • Rosewood fingerboard and bridge
  • Gold Grover tuners
  • Factory pickup system (working)
  • Original hard-shell case included
  • Serial Number: AJ301786
  • Internal Date Stamp: JAN 30, 1997

Tone: Classic Guild jumbo voice:

  • Big, piano‑like low end
  • Bright, articulate highs from the maple body
  • Excellent projection thanks to the arched back
  • A fantastic strummer and stage guitar

Why This One Is Special: Westerly‑built Guilds have a devoted following for a reason — the craftsmanship, tone, and durability are exceptional. The Blond finish is especially desirable, and the JF‑30E is one of the most approachable ways to get into that iconic Guild jumbo sound without spending J‑200 money.

Shipping: Shipping is included in the price. The guitar will be packed securely inside its original hard case, boxed properly, and fully insured.
