Description
What makes this guitar special: As underrated as they come, this cherry finished jumbo sports all the fit & finish of a Westerly guild, at a fraction of the price. Built in the transition period between the closing of the Westerly plant and the opening of the Tacoma plant, these Corona built Guilds manufactured in the Fender factory have an cult following and are deservedly building in reputation. You’ll see why when you get your hands on this jumbo. It’s been well-loved and well-played, and for good reason. It’s an absolute cannon, with a thunderous sound and breathtaking projection. The solid wood construction has opened up beautifully, providing excellent balance and resonance. Professionally setup by the experts at Cream City Music, it’ll arrive ready to play out of the case.
Cosmetic condition: Used but not abused, with some standard wear & tear throughout. There are various scratches, dents, dings, nicks, chips, and scuffs present, with several areas of finish checking. There is some finish wear and shrinkage along the fingerboard edges, along with a single spot where the finish has been touched up above the 12th fret. The body shows a smattering of chips in the clear coat as well, along with visible pickwear on the top.
