I joined the Guild family last year when I got a great deal on a 1984 F-50R on Craigslist. I love everything about this guitar and she is built like a tank. No structural problems but there are issues with the pickguard. I know that sometimes they will shrink but the gap where the pickguard meets the neck is pretty large and it makes me wonder what really happened. Many pictures of F-50R’s from this era seem to have black pickguards instead of the tortoise shell one like mine. She can’t talk to me so I am asking the Guild community to help me out. What did her past boyfriends do to her before she met me?
Questions -
Is this the original pickguard?
Do you think someone replace it and did not measure right?
Did pickguards come in both black and tortoise shell that year?
Will keeping it on cause future problems?
Do all F-50’s have the same size pickguard throughout the years?
Where is a good place to get a replacement if I want one?
Thanks!
