This Guild guitar was built in Rhode Island, made in USA. It has the Gover tuners, Fishman pick up, which works good. I believe the back and sides are rosewood and the top is solid spruce. It is model F5 CE NT. The number on the back of the headstock is LE000159. The problem with the guitar is that it needs some work with the neck. It is has 2 small cracks by the soundhole and it needs the bindings reglued by the top of the body of the guitar. I am not sure but it may need that block underneath the neck repaired. Anyway, a good guitar worth fixing up. It does come with a nice Guild hardshell case.
I'm puzzled because the serial number would indicate that it's a 1994 model, but the LE serial numbers for the F5 changed in 1994 to AFxxxxx numbers. Also, given the repairs needed, is $225 worth the risk, given that it will need repairs, or is it worth 5 CE NTs? I'm interested to hear what people think.
