Hi everyone. For your consideration is a wonderful example of a jumbo Guild. Both Sandy and Toni can attest to the magic of this guitar. I hate to let her go, but right now life dictates that I need cash more than I need strings. So, the year is '97, with beautiful silking in the top. It has a rich chocolate rosewood back. She is almost twenty years old and has been played, so there are a few nicks and dings here and there. But overall in good condition for its age and plays wonderfully! I had a Lyric installed about six months ago, and I think this pickup was made for this guitar. It has a really rich character to it, and the Lyric really picks that up! There is a small 2 inch crack that Sandy had cleated before I bought it,and it hasn't moved in the two years that I've had her. W/OHSC/ $1350.00 Shipped to CON. US Thanks for looking ladies and gents!

Hey, good to see you here Hart! I'll note the new nick.

Folks, JMO of course, but I've had a bunch of rosewood Jumbo Guilds pass through here, and this one maybe isn't the prettiest, but it sounds and plays better than any of the others I've owned or tried. Dunno why, other than maybe the "late Westerly" effect. Good luck with the sale. Somebody will be very happy with this guitar.

Hey Sandy! Yeah, it was just easier goin with this username for now, because I really need to move a few guitars pretty quickly unfortunately. Life calls for some hard decisions sometimes, don't it? Thanks for all the kind words, the new owner will be blown away on the 1st strum just like I was! :)
