Here’s my 1972 F50 SB, which Glenn (wileypickett) helped me acquire by checking it out, purchasing it, and holding it until I was in the Boston area so I could pick it up personally. Glenn and I had a great discussion about Guilds (of course), and I also was able to purchase his JV72, which he resurrected and restored to great playing condition (check out his thread on that story, which is crazy).
Except for the odd wear mostly in the upper bout area above the E string, the guitar is in excellent, original condition. It is very solidly built and has a super punchy sound, which is a great contrast to the warmer tone of the rosewoods.
I prefer burst maple guitars to non bursts, and this one is a great companion to my 1970 F412 SB.
Here’s a few pics:
