Always on the prowl for old small bods, I've been back and forth on the listing.

Surely some of you do the same and have seen this little nugget.
When I first contacted the seller, a nice person who doesn't have a lot of guitar knowledge, I suggested more pics and details she should add to the original sparse available info. The orig ad didn't contain a front peg head nor back photo, which now shows the logo having been removed. The guitar is obviously not playable with that nasty remnant of a saddle, but I've been able to get her to measure string height, and explain the logo thing, along with coming down to a 1K price with shipping. There's no case and she's never shipped a guitar, so there's that scary process.
Like all of us M20 lovers, this is certainly one to own and restore, but I'm more in the $800 range as is. Nevertheless, I'm no longer in the hunt for an M20, and feel restoring it would bring it back up to vintage retail near the thousand dollar mark, a break even proposition. This will be my eventual response to her offer.
I thought someone here would love to work this one out, so I'm sharing. Looking for a Guild logo face for the head, so guess I'm not all out yet.
Good luck to y'all.
Dave
