Just bought a guild F25 .
I quite like it. It’s much brighter sounding than I expected.
Serial number looks like ‘87 but it is also stamped 3-88 on headstock. Could that be the date?

very nice, serial number is 1988.

Also it is a GF-25-Black. Not F-25, even though that's what it says (Guild used to make errors writing labels all the time)

I was going to say. There was a thread about that some time ago - 2017. And the back of the headstock does say GF...

But that's a great looking guitar! And major congrats, Shakey! What ARE the specs on a GF25? Mainly I want to know the lower bout width. Love that shape!

Nice congrats! I like the way the rosewood bridge looks against the black top. Classy!

16 inches across the lower bout.
25 1/2 inch scale .
Nut is around 1 5/8 -ish.
I don’t have steel ruler handy, just a tape measure.

I always thought this would be a really cool model to own. I bet it is rather versatile.
