Pair of Skechers, maybe? Comfy stuff.
That is a 1975 Guild F-30 currently for sale (no affiliation) at a guitar store in Nova Scotia. They are asking CAD $1200, tax free, which is about USD $936, today's exchange rate.

Apologies if I’ve already posted this one here, but it’s a kissing cousin to Lono’s ‘74 F-47, so I felt inspired. My ‘74 F-40, with added pickguard logo:

Where's the added Teva logo?:p (sorry...had to. I'm known to have odd 1/2 moon shaped suntan marks on the sides of my feet all winter long from wearing similar sandals 6+ months out of the year. ;) )
I like to keep it simple & wear them twelve months out of the year!

That's a beautiful guitar! Wild how similar they look. I wonder how different they sound. I'm going to need to keep an eye out for one of these. I love the feel of this shape. Sits perfectly for me.

I know this is the BGUF thread, but may I ask what is the difference between the '74 F-47 and F-40? I see bracing in the F-47 that I don't see in the F-40, but otherwise they look the same to me.

Side note: It amazes me how so many of you can see a photo of a part of a Guild and know exactly which one it is, and that's very impressive. I don't expect to ever be able to do that.

On these two, the bodies are identical except for the back & sides wood (mahogany on the F-47, maple on the F-40), and the construction of the backs (flat, solid, & braced on the F-47; arched & laminated on the F-40).

^ .....and you shake it all about, you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, that's what it's all about!
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed, several years ago. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
