A local man on craigslist has a 1990 Westerly-made Guild D50 for $800. Originally I thought this was a really good deal, however after asking some questions I'm starting to second-guess myself. He's not the original owner, and he stated there are no scratches or dings and everything was fine, however there are some small cracks around the soundhole that a local luthier thought were created by the original owner installing his own under saddle pick-ups on it. I asked for pictures but he said he took 8, but couldn't get any to capture that cracks. I'm going to play it this weekend, but until then any opinions?
I'm a beginner (about a year played), I've heard mixed reviews about easeness of playing what do ya think? I really don't need another guitar as I like my seagull s-6, however reading reviews and having some extra cash really urges me to get one... plus it was made on my birth year, so the guitar will always be as old as me which is pretty cool
Here's the craigslist ad in question, wih pictures. http://syracuse.craigslist.org/msg/2126179123.html I'm hoping the pictures don't give it justice (primarily the headstock one)
