Guild F20 1969 $950 includes CONUS shipping. Hoboken label but built at Westerly.
The pictures make the finish dings and dongs look worse than in real life. I wanted to be thorough and took many shots with different lighting.

Articulate tone. Some cosmetic marks as described but it is fundamentally sound. Everything is original and in working order, and it stays in tune. No issues. The honest wear comes with the territory. It had the neck reset and a refret recently (can supply receipt) and I have not played it much since. Plays really well. Scale length is on the short side, 24 3/4" or 24 5/8". The action at the 12th low e is 3/32”. It is not loud but I don’t think these were designed to be loud.
The finish has limited flakng in several small spots(see pictures), but no gouges. The headstock is slightly rounded a bit in places on the edge, as you can see in the pictures. The headstock veneer is curled slightly on the edges. There are two noticeable dings on the neck but not in a place that affects play. There is a slight horizontal stand burn on the finish up the neck. This guitar has been around the block but it's a fun old Guild.
Beautiful woods are totally solid, with just one slight, stable surface crack near the pickguard (please see pictures). The crack does not extend to the soundhole or to the other side of the bridge. The local well-=respected Luthier saw no need to cleat it or otherwise do anything to it.
It’s very fun to fool around with, although I strum/flatpick with runs mostly, and I’m not really a fingerstyler. It has a distinctive woody, ringing clear tone. I have about $1,200 into it with the new Superior case, which fits perfectly. This needs a good home.
