So, I've got a bunch of F 50's now and that's just fine since it is my favorite Guild Maple Jumbo. But, there are a few other models I'm jonesing for (discussed at the end) so am throwing this out there to see if there is any interest.

I have the Oxnard F 55E GSR which is going nowhere, the Corona burst which I adore, the F 50 GSR KOA from New Hartford, (still getting to know this one but I think I like it a lot) this black Tacoma F 50 and a Westerly F 50 in Blonde I got from Glenn Jones. (I love this Blonde as well and since Glenn played it I'm hoping some of his talent might transcend to me but alas, so far at least, no dice)

This is a 2005 Tacaoma build in gloss black. Zero structural issues. The neck angle is excellent with boatloads of saddle remaining. The Low E string height at the 12th fret is about 5/64", just where I prefer it to be. Frets have lots of life with some light wear on the 1st and 2nd B and high E string positions.. The gold tuning machines look great with little to no fading/oxidation. Comes with its OHSC. No cracks, breaks or separations. The guy I bought it from listed it excellent. I'm calling it very good for only one reason (and one he did not properly disclose). There is what looks to be a couple spots of buckle rash on the back about 1/3 of the way from the top. Not horrible and it doesn't bother me but I wanted to be as accurate as possible in my description. I can't get that to show up in the pics very well (if at all)

I've been told I'm a lousy pic taker and that is likely true but I do the best I can with my subpar abilities and my old outdated camera. If you have questions ask, but I likely won't be able to do much better pic wise.

I paid $2,400 for the guitar + shipping + sales tax. I'll eat the shipping and sales tax I paid and I'll eat the shipping to you if East of the Mississippiy. I'll also take another $100 off for the prviledge of being able to play this guitar while it's been with me. So, we'll cal it $2,300 shipped to you if you are East of the Mississippi. If West, you'll need to pay another $50 (expensive to ship out there). Preferred payment is personal check or postal money order. I'd consider PayPal but add 3% to cover the PayPal fee if that's the route you need to go. Any questions please ask.

Here's a few pics

As far as trades go there may or may not be any additional cash required depending upon what (if anything) you'd be willing to trade, I'm not looking for much but an Oxnard F 40, a D 55 (preferably NH) or a Mahogany F 30 (NH if possible). If you have something else interesting let me know. We'd both be resposible for our own shipping if we go the trade route,

Been a while, Retro! Good to see you're still around and kicking! 😎

Yeah, that is a very tempting offer, Richard!
Yes, I'm still around! And kicking! I know I haven't been here much in the last couple of years, but things have been pretty hectic. (Maybe I'll make an 'update' post) But I'm still playing, and I still LOVE my Guild jumbos! And then I see THIS posting...always wanted a black F50!!! And, as you might remember, I'm a HUGE fan of the Tacoma-era Guild jumbos...having TWO F50Rs. I do have a black JF30, and a 2012 black Gibson SJ200. But my 'go-to' is either of my F50Rs. Hmmm...hey Richard...want a black SJ200? LOL!
