Treem had posted this one for sale via CL. I bought it and had it shipped directly to Tom Jacobs who re-glued the bridge, glued/cleated a couple cracks, installed a new bone saddle and set it up for me. I just received it today. I was pleasantly surprised by both the cosmetic condition which for a 62" year old guitar is pretty darned good, and the sound/tone which is warm and full and has an absolutely huge voice.. I'm starting to like these 000 and smaller bodied guitars more and more.

Here's a few pics.

Looks great! I still say part of the secret sauce to the sound of the F-30 and F-40 (and the M models, too) is the original 50s/60s body shape. Enjoy your new toy!!

Congrats Richard! This looks like a gem of an old Guild acoustic. Is it basically an all hog F30?

That looks really nice Richard! Love the rich hog top. What are the specs on this one? What would you compare the sound too?
