Interesting Custom

[GGJaguar]

No label, no serial on the headstock. Supposedly an employee guitar from the early 1980s. Laminated maple body, solid spruce top, AA neck, HB-1s.

The front of the headstock is interesting without anything engraved in the center piece!

Definitely looks "unfinished"...

I get so excited about these things that I always forget to add "not mine". The guitar was posted on Facebook by the owner and I thought folks here would enjoy seeing it.

I know! If it was my guitar, I'd have something engraved (or inked) on that center piece of mother-of-pearl.

The faceless headstock.

That’s a lovely guitar! Interesting that the tuners aren’t all lined up straight. It’s like the holes were drilled just by eyeballing it and not using a template or measurements.

Wow!

Same seller discussed last week who had the D25 with the neck from an F50 (which was finally decided to be from another model Guild) which sold for $475. This one is now also sold:

Guild Jazz Box Sunburst | Reverb

I got this guitar as a project. The neck was glued onto the body and sat for a number of years before I got it. There is a line down the back where the glue ran down. The top is a solid spruce carved top. The back and sides are laminated maple. The neck is an Artist Award made up of a 5 piec...

Carved solid spruce top...!

Wow! Stunning guitar. That seems like it was a great deal for the buyer.

Yeah, one of the first things I noticed.

inlaying a black chesterfield logo into that centerpiece would be hilarious
