Hans, what was the first year of the F212XL?

[Jahn]

Just wondering since someone over at the UMGFsaid their friend has one from 1966, thanks!

Hello Jahn,

The F-212XL was introduced during 1966. The introduction dates for the F-112 and the F-212XL were reversed on page 129 of 'The Guild Guitar Book'. If you read the text though, it will become clear that it was 1966. So, a 1966 Guild F-212XL is possible.

Sorry about the confusion!

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

someone may want to mention that to the editors of the Blue Book. They have it as 1970. Not the first of their errors I've noticed.

Thanks Hans, as always, the last word on these lil Guild gems!
