Anyone heard of an F112 with an arch back
Saw one today but the top was stained a darker brown at some point after it was new...had wood ribs on the inside of the guitar walls....F112 on the neck block. Aug 1981 date stamped under the top inside the soundhole. It had some repaired damage to the top under the edge of the pickguard. Some kind of copy of a guild sticker was pasted to the back of the guitar and it looks like there was a big square sticker there at some point. Headstock inlays (Chesterfield) looked authentic. Mahogany arch back. Guild case....a bit of a mystery guitar...Hans?

No mystery, 'stringer, they really came that way for a while. I've played a few and I'm pretty sure I've seen a catalog page with the arched back mentioned.
