These 3 hoboken guilds have been very high on my wish list for a long time. A 67 D50, 59 F50, and a 65 F30. I just unboxed the F30 tonight and wanted to share some pictures with the members here. It looks very clean for a 55 year old guitar. It feels like it weighs less than a pound in my hands, after playing my westerly D55. I will end up selling the F30 at some point. But i think this is a fine trio of guilds, and are some of my favorite models.

Interesting. I tend to not like the bigger Guild sound and would compare the tone of my '62 F30 to my same year Martin 00018. Is the tone too 'small' side by side with the dreads?

If I didn't already have one I'd make an offer right now.

Great threesome!

What's the nut width on the F-30?

Thank you guys for the compliments. I have just posted the guitar for sale, so that you can read all about it and see more photos. I am in no hurry to sell this one, but if i did, i would like to see it go to a LTG member. The nut is 1 11/16 on this F30. And I detail my opinions about volume, tone, and play ability in my write up. But to sum it up, i'm blown away by this F30. It can do it all and hang with any D55 or F50 in my opinion.
