Hello everyone. Today I bought a beautiful F40 w/ DTAR Elec. Sunburst from a local music store. I was told by the seller this guitar was 1 of 3 F40's made by Guild specifically for Alvin Lee Barnes. He tried all 3 and decided to take #1 (Natural Finish).
Numbers 2 & 3 supposedly were displayed at the Guild factory for a while and eventually sold privately. I am also told this was made in 1999 but have no way to verify since there is no serial number on it other than what was written on the label.
I'd love to know more about this if anyone here is an expert in this arena or knows the whole story behind these guitars. Either way good or bad this guitar plays and sounds amazing. It's going to make a nice companion to my D55 & D50BG. Thanks for your help!
