Very nice piece, looks hardly used. It does have a couple of dings, though nothing serious.
Nice, tightly-grained spruce top:
A crack (top left):
There is a mark on the mahogany back - you can just about see it in this pic. It looks as though something soft has been pressed against it and sort of "smudged" it. I can't remove the mark with cleaner / polish, so have left it:
I'm a real sucker for the Chesterfield headstocks:
I gave the open tuners a touch of petroleum jelly just to keep things smooth; only one of them shows any sign of a little "stiffness":
I've had a few Guilds over the years, but never one with a proper (original) Guild case:
As it's been a while since I've has a 12-er, I misjudged completely the gauge of strings and installed a set of 11s-52s - way, WAY too heavy. I'm used to playing a 000-18 Martin with 11s /12s AND a shorter scale-length. A set of 9s for the Guild are on order!
Any comments / obs most welcome!
