Hello everyone. Thanks for the add. So, this guitar makes my 3rd vintage guild . I believe it’s from the late 50s or early 60s . It has no label inside and no serial markings on the back of the headstock. I’m 99.9 % sure someone a while ago refinished this from a natural finish to a gold finish. There’s a lot of oxidation but the checking from the previous finish is still intact which leads me to believe it was natural and they just sprayed the gold over it . I know guild did have a gold finish as an option but I would think they used better paint for sure . There is also some over spray in the cavity . I was curious mostly in what you guys think of this guitar in terms of year and model ? Clearly someone loved this guitar a lot and it has a nice acoustic property to it being a hollow body . The thing that surprised me the most is how nice this pickup is . It’s strong but very mellow sounding . I’m a bit over my head with this guitar as I’m not a jazz box player . Here are some pics . Jeff
