Stopped by a local shop, a Guild Dealer, that had advertised a Tacoma F50R for sale. The guitar played very, very nice.....everything we've come to expect in Guild's top of the line Jumbo.
The only problem, was that sections of the outer finish of the binding appears to have "flaked" off of both sides of the upper bout and portions of the neck. It left an almost transparent look to what was left.
Has anyone every experienced this before? The guitar played and sounded great, but for that kind of money.....yeah, the cosmetics would be a deal breaker. I could hopefully get a hefty discount, but that's a bit too much "mojo" and I'd be concerned about binding issues in the future.
Anyone see anything like this before on a Guild or anything else? Any suggestions on how to repair this or would you have to rebind the entire guitar?
