Great photos, super presentation! If I were in the market....
Best of luck in the sale. :cheerful:

*Not to mention the beautiful D30.

Thanks Joe!

Trying to keep the bar raised for guitar photos here in the LTG classifieds...
and putting up what I'd want to see if I was considering
buying something... which could happen again soon:wink:

Truss Rod Cover?

 

[killdeer43]

Yep, it's upside down....good eye, Dave. :wink:

No extra charge for the custom directional orientation of the TRC.:biggrin-new:

 

[Westerly Wood]

that is one beautiful Guild dread. Like Joe, if i were in market, I would jump, and I typically have a no shipping policy. Really great photos. and the price is spot on.

Nice D30 Bonneville and nice ad presentation as well. The truss rod cover actually looks right to me.:topsy_turvy: Everyone who says it is upside down is just looking at it the wrong way, LOL! I would add a $50 service charge to the price if they want it reoriented. Best of luck with the listing!

Absolutely! I would pay it.

Thanks gentlemen... appreciate the feedback!
I can see the as-seen-on-TV pitch now:
"we'll reposition / reorient any TRC... ONLY $50!!.. but act now...!" :biggrin-new:

Meanwhile... we'll see if anyone is out there cruisin' for some D30 love!

Can you advise the nut width? I know they varied a bit.

Thanks!

 

[Bonneville88]

Bernie,

Just put a caliper to it, nut width is 1.727".
Reading 1.4795" outside low E to outside of high E,
currently set up with medium strings.

And I forgot to say that looks like a great D-30, which is one of my favorite Guild dreads. I had an 88 and an 87. They were both outstanding, especially for recording.

 

[Bonneville88]

Dave - cool!

I have two D30s as well among the various Guilds in the house, this '90
that's for sale and an '00, along with the orange DCE3 and a G37...
lovely guitars all, and they all sound a bit different, but I must like the sonic qualities of these arch-back
maple dreads - and of course the aesthetics - they keep finding their way here :love-struck:

​

The '90 and the '00 are pretty much twins - to compare the two
side by side, really looks like they could have been built at the same time, despite
the 10 year difference. Also noteworthy is they both have the same easy, low
action, probably the easiest to fret of all my Guilds. The '90 that's for sale
is more open and resonant than the '00, but I think that may be in part because
the '00 looks virtually un-played - I'm guessing it was well-cared-for case queen.
I'm with the school of thought that believes playing them regularly improves
the sound over time. If the '90 doesn't sell, will keep it and perhaps let
the '00 go instead... or keep both... we'll see.

I would jump for this one if I sell my 1975 F-212xl (see on Reverb)!!!

 

[Bonneville88]

I'm seeing... that is one SWEET F212XL!
Well cared for and and very reasonably priced.
I'd work out some kind of deal with you if I didn't already have one...

 

[F312]

Where is this located? What size nut.

Ralph

 

[Rich Cohen]

The nut is 1 13/16". The URL is: https://reverb.com/item/5315834-vintage-1975-guild-f-212xl-natural-gloss

 

[F312]

Hey Rich, I was referring to the D30 but I've went over the specs and it looks to be a tad smaller than 1 3/4". I'd think twice letting your F212XL go. It is sweet.
