I haven’t heard of them before I got them last week from different brokers. The F5 was part of an unplayed collection and is beautiful, kind of like chocolate and caramel candy, I want to eat it. The F4 has a vey unique story, probably the best of any of my Guilds. I purchased it from the family of Tom Dreibelbis, Vice President of Dean Markley strings. He passed away a couple years ago. Dean Markley transported it back to his family in State College PA, along with other gifted guitars. I saw one from George Jones, and one from the Bellamy Brothers. Tom was the customer relations specialist for Dean Markley through the 90’s and worked with many artists he built a relationship with that gifted him guitars, where they remained on display at Dean Markley’s home office in Santa Clara California. Deana Carter received this from Guild, being a Guild girl, in 1996 when her debut album sold 4X Platinum, and “Stawberry Wine“ became her #1 hit. She gifted it to Tom in 1998 just before her second album was released. Tom’s family wanted to pass these guitars on to collectors. Odd thing is they only wanted $500 and free shipping. I’ve got two unopened ‘96 and ‘98 cds, sealed flyers, and a large uncorrected marketing proof for her second album from her and the Dean Markley strings add from then.
I was looking for gifts for my son and daughter’s birthdays this summer. I got the F4 first for my daughter. She grew up out here listening to Deana Carter and always asking me to play Strawberry Wine. Jordan has been playing guitar since she was 10. I hope she will like it this August. I wanted the big brother F5 my sons birthday, though never expected to find one like this. He has a small collection already. The Guild retails were: F4CEHR was 1199.99, and the F5CEHG listed at 1499.99. Not that I’m a Guild expert by any means, but odd I’ve never heard of this model before, must not be many out there.
