Thanks, bro! It's needing a little love and care, but I'm paying off that freekin' 018. I leave it open tuned to impress guests with a little Pink Floyd diddy. Learned it here...

Hans would know more about spec variations that may have been occurring during this build period. Unlike most F30s of this era, this one has a slightly wider fingerboard, which permitted me to fit a wider nut with a more comfortable spacing. Others have claimed they had no room at all for this...

4" next to the endpin, 3 1/4" up next to the heel. A deeper bod woulda' been nice.

My '63... Dead on 19 3/8".

$1850? Sounds like they're making up for the work that went into it. That's different from having a vintage restoration in play. My music shop does consignment, but still has the credentialed repair/restore guy.

I found it odd and unacceptable that the seller couldn't verify a functioning truss rod, especially in light of the neck reset. I'm re-reading your original post, and, for one thing, that period Guild bridge is a beautifully simple shape, that unless copied perfectly from Braz RW, I wouldn't be...

Sounds like clarity.

Well, J, if true, and you have a good one nearby, it should ease your mind about keeping up with it's 'idiosyncrasies'. If it feels good in hand, and you love the tone, that would be about 90% of it for me. They are a bit delicate, lightly built, for sure, and you would have to be more...

Both of the truss rods functioned on my '59 and '64. Generally, when you find the correct socket to fit (get a nice set somewhere, good for many things), you should meet good resistance when turning clockwise, which will straighten you neck, and less, but not floppy resistance when relaxing it...

Be patient. Guild geeks here will have extra info.

Good luck. I owned a couple early M20s and loved them, but those freekin' narrow nuts caused traffic jams with my square-ish fingers.

I could be wrong (again), but shouldn't Guild's current M-20 case be just right, if they'll sell you one? Go to their site, give them a call, and check the dimensions. https://guildguitars.com/g/m-20-in-vintage-sunburst/

Yes they were. I think the 'horns' on the bottom edge came around '69 - '70's. That one looks right. Wish I could buy. There are folks who make pretty good copies.

Is this the model with the wide (1 3/4") nut?

It very well could be part of the bellying issue. Resetting a bridge is the least of your worries.

If a guitar that has unknown structural issues, I suggest you have it looked at soon by a pro, in case you have something dire to report to your seller.

Good luck with the sale, Rich. It shouldn't linger long.

Glad to hear it's a neck comfort issue. I was going to recommend seeing your audiologist. Mea culpa, boys.

Great opportunity for her to grab on to the enthusiasm of the moment. Way to go, TB. Wishing her continued interest. I squandered a similar opportunity as a 15 yr old. It's all 'catch up' now for me.

This is probably what you're looking for, here coincidentally on the UMGF today. Guess you could join the forum and contact the author to see what that bridge is. Scroll down to see a photo of his bridge. https://umgf.com/viewtopic.php?p=2806334#p2806334
