Thanks John, Ralf & Bruno.
Yeah, the guitar will be going to New Jersey to my brothers place & I may get it in February when he's planning to come down here. A little crazy as Hawaii is probably half way between NJ & Sydney but lots of sellers don't want to ship overseas & then if they do it's $400 or more so it was simpler just to do this. Besides I have bought so many Guilds in the last 17 months since discovering LTG that I have no room for it here anymore & am now looking to move into a bigger house! The fact that I'm working more & more from home & also need an office also has something to do with that, but really it's mostly the guitars!!
I had to jump on this as the seller says it's a 1 11/16" (43mm) neck which is what I really prefer & it seems in pretty good condition, especially for the price. I have seen a few SFVs for sale & this one seems to have the best condition to price ratio. The seller seems pretty cool & trustworthy so hoping for the best. He did say there was some impressions in the fretboard but they seem very minor so, hopefully, all good.
Yes, I will need to update the sig (& not just because of the SFV), though knowing me I'll convince myself that I also "need" a '67 or later with the neck joining at the 18th & the different Guildsby. :roll: :lol:
Thanks also to Steve for bringing this to my attention.
