Sold FS: 1970 Guild F-512 Brazilian Rosewood w/ F-612 Inlays

[taylorj]

Hi y'all...

Hope this finds you well. After much deliberation, I have made the difficult decision to once again offer this guitar for sale. I had hoped to hang on to it, but due to all my tour dates being cancelled because of COVID-19, I need to sell some guitars and sadly this magnificent instrument will have to be one of them. Hoping that it winds up in the hands of someone here, who will best appreciate it, its rarity, and its history.

For full background on this instrument, refer to my original FS thread: https://letstalkguild.com/ltg/index...512-brazilian-rosewood-w-f-612-inlays.201093/

Asking $5,000 + shipping to LTG members only. Despite having been appraised at $6,000 by George Gruhn, I feel it is only fair to pass this guitar along to another Guild fan for how much I have already invested in it. Available here exclusively for one week to give y'all first dibs, but if it does not sell here it will be offered for sale at Gruhn Guitars at full value.

Thanks so much for your consideration.

I'd jump on it in a heartbeat if I haden't just ponied up for a DV73 and a pile of recording equipment.

Maybe GAD can do it with all of that new recording equipment he just bought.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

 

[GAD]

It is designed to be portable!

Thanks everyone for the kind words about this guitar. I hate to have to sell it and am hopeful that it will find its way into the hands of another Guild lover who appreciates it as much as I do. If you're really interested in hearing it, I'll try to record an audio sample and post it here. Not sure if a recording would do it justice, but worth a try.

Be fun to hear, but not sure any recording could do this justice : ) .

I caught that too from the article. An arched back Brazilian, unbraced.
