Guild F-40?

[starhopper]

This is a youtube link to my favorite artist, John Hartford - is he playing an F-40 Blonde? Looks like one to me!

Me thinks it might be a GF-60.

 

[starhopper]

Yeah - I guess the headstock is just a little too fancy for an F-40!

 

[Graham]

The inlays are the diamond ones I believe as well.

Not sure if the GF-60 came in maple though, anyone? anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Hello everybody,

Looks like an F-44 to me. Well .........F-44Bld-E to be precise!

Nice looking guitar!

Hi,

talking of F-40s, there is a beautiful one from 1958 on German eBay. The price is not extortionate for Germany...

That belongs to Zilla, it's a beauty and plays like a dream.

Whoa, that German Ebay F40 isn't crazy expensive indeed! Strange there's pictures of everything except the back of the neck where it meets the headstock though.... :|

The seller claims that it's had a professionally executed neck reset, which is pretty obvious in the pic that shows a very high saddle.

Hello Walter,

Don't think there's anything wrong with that part of the neck. Or at least there wasn't anything wrong with it before it was restored to it's present state.
Here's a photo of the back of the headstock at the time:

Are you interested?

Hey Hans,
I would be extremely interested, but the timing couldn't be worse for me. I just cannot afford it right now, even though that's just about my dream flattop, and I don't see any "extra money" coming in real soon either.

Anybody wanna buy a Super Reverb?
