Hello, first post from Waterford, Connecticut. I’m a longtime Guild fan but always more of a listener. I tried learning to play in my twenties but didn’t get to far. Now at 57 I’m trying again. I’ve been making pretty good progress for the better part of the last year and have rewarded myself with this GF30, purchased from Elderly Instruments. Pardon the clutter in my pics, a 24 year old has returned home and my man cave took the storage hit. I’ve also included a link to the Elderly listing, their pics are better anyway.
What can I say about the guitar? It’s gorgeous and in phenomenal shape for a thirty year old instrument. It got an amber overspray at some point in its life and is more butterscotch than blonde. That knocked a few hundred off the price, I’m sure, and I now own a fairly unique guitar. Soundwise it’s phenomenal too. Great chiming treble and smooth midrange and bass. Sustains like a Tibetan singing bowl. Really sounds great fingerstyle which is mostly what I’m concentrating on.
