Description
What makes this guitar special: This Guild is a perfect example of a small bodied guitar delivering a surprisingly big sound. The all mahogany body produces a distinctly warm sound with tons of projection and midrange presence. On top of the great sound, the mahogany used in this particular guitar has absolutely gorgeous ribbon figuring, resulting in an almost 3D appearance. With a smaller sized body and an ultra-comfortable C shaped neck, this guitar plays even better than it looks.
Condition: This guitar is in very good, if not better, condition overall. It does possess some minor playing scratches and a few small dents here and there, but it is very clean and in great shape overall. It does have a top crack, but it has been professionally repaired and is stable, with no effect to the overall performance of the instrument, so it still sounds and plays as great as ever.
Body: Concert-sized body with solid mahogany back and sides and a solid mahogany top in gloss natural finish. The mahogany possess a gorgeous ribbon figure with an almost three dimensional appearance. Scalloped spruce bracing. Mother of Pearl rosette with white/black inner ring. Black pickguard. Compensated Nu-bone saddle and an Indian Rosewood bridge.
Neck: 14 frets to the body C shape mahogany neck with a satin finish (.86” at the 1st fret, 1.10” at the 12th fret). 20 fret rosewood neck with pearl inlays and white side dots. Mother of Pearl logo headstock inlay. Nickel open gear tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut width. 24 ¾” scale length.
Weight: 3 lbs. 12.5 oz.
Playability/Sound: The C shape neck plays super easily thanks to the satin finish, and the size and profile should make many players feel right at home with this guitar in their hands. The all-mahogany body provides a surprising amount of volume for a smaller sized guitar, and the overall sound has a lovely midrange push perfect for fingerstyle and open chords alike.
Case: Includes original hard shell case.
