Description

A gorgeous guitar & really  wonderful player despite the professional headstock repair.  The dark green Emerald finish looks great & matches well with the white-top DeArmond single coils.  Additional features include a Bigsby tremolo, black plexi pickguard & clear knobs to round out the package.  Professionally set up & ready to peform right out of its original case!

Cosmetic Condition:  As mentioned above, there is a headstock repair performed by our own master luthier, but it does not affect playability.  In addition to this there are various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches, weather checking & some mild finish wear.  The guitar has an authentic vintage vibe with a beautiful patina.

Neck:  Mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots.  Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.  Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Mother of pearl Guild & Chesterfield headstock inlays.  Grover Sta-Tite nickel tuners work great.  1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body:  Florentine cutaway, hollow mahogany body with dual F-holes & 3-ply top binding.  Guild Bigsby tremolo tailpiece with compensated nickel bridge.  Black plexi pickguard with gold Guild logo & star.  Guitar weighs 6 lbs 10.7 oz & has a natural acoustic resonance.

Electronics:  DeArmond single coil pickups with white tops.  Dual volume & tone controls with original Guild knobs; 3-way toggle switch.  All electronics are in good working condition.

Case:  Original hardshell case included.
