NGD - GF60R Sunburst

[awagner]

After initial unsuccessful attempts to contact the seller, some back and forth price negotiations, 3 weeks shipping time via USPS, and an evaluation and setup, I finally got this one home, and boy was it worth the wait.

Near-mint condition, gorgeous, and it sounds and plays beautifully.

Here it is with its younger GF55 cousin.

GF55?? When and where did that one come from? And I want one but i'm sure they're not many to be found. Wow!! Your new guitar is BRILLIANT!! Love the color and burst and everything. Congrats, my friend!!

That's a beauty - congratulations on finally landing it!

The GF-60 was "renamed" in GF-55 by 1990. Some different features like the different fingerboard inlays, different rosette and the change from snakehead to paddle headstock.

Yes, it is just magnificent. And the owner of "The Guitar Shop" must have been a nice fellow because he let you move around and take pictures among all those nice Guilds. Ha

I don’t consider the GF55 a renamed GF60. They are too different.

The GF60R is, however, a renamed F46.

Congratulations! Very glad it all worked out for you and she survived the shipping ordeal unharmed. Love the burst! The only other I’ve seen was more reddish. Yours appears more brown, which I prefer.

 

[Cougar]

Oh man, what a gorgeous burst! Major congrats and HNGD!

He’s kind of a jerk, actually.

He’s kind of a jerk, actually.

All of us got a little "Jerk" in us --even Steve Martin.

The GF-60 is cool, but GF-55's ROCK........

Sweet new axe for the herd, awagner! That is a lovely burst... What did Guild call that?

 

[awagner]

Thanks.

It’s a GF60R SB, so probably just Sunburst.

Fair enough! Bootiful!!!
