Sold 1966 Guild Mark IV Pearwood Classical Guitar--$1000 plus shipping

[silverfox103]

For Sale Vintage 1966 Guild Mark IV Pearwood Classical Guitar; made in Hoboken NJ, serial # CD-184.

I bought it from the original owners daughter, who inherited it after her father passed away. I have owned it for 6 years. It sat under her bed for 40 odd years. I would doubt there is one in finer condition, just look at the pictures. It comes with the original case, in excellent shape.

Flamed Pearwood is used for the back and sides. The Pearwood is a beautiful tonewood for acoustic instruments. This professional-level instrument is the perfect choice for adding the warmth of nylon-string acoustic tone to your music.

The action is smooth and the neck very easy to play. The action is 1/8 inch at the 12th fret.

If I didn't have a Mark VI to play, I would not be selling this guitar. It doesn’t make sense for it to sit under my bed, time for someone to enjoy it. This is a great American made guitar.

Do a search on YouTube for Kenny Rankin, he was a professional singer / guitarist. He played a Pearwood Mark IV for years exclusively.

One Thousand plus shipping (@$100 additional). Giving dibs to the Guild guys, then onto Reverb, for $1000+. Only ships to the United States, lower 48!

thanks

I've only owned a couple classical guitars in my life (mainly a steel string person) but my Mark IV is the only one I liked enough to keep.

These pearwood models are really fine. To my ear, they sound bright and sweet, which is an outstanding change from the usual dark tone of classicals.

I still have my Mark V Maple Darryl.

The Mark IV does have a great sound. But I don't play it enough, and having 5 classical guitars (it was worse) has become a distraction. Rather than just have one or two that I could go to, with 5 I have to think of which one will it be today. Many times I just do something else. Although definitely the main problem is my computer is located in the same room as my guitars.

No I didn't Darryl, but it didn't come too far from you.....Utah. I'm pretty sure I asked you some questions though.
