Absentmindedly, I forgot to ask about nut width.
Lots of great info here, realizing how knowledgeable you guys are.
I'm back! With trepidation...I await my 'newest' Guild. A bucket-lister Hobo. '63 I think.....
Think you might be right, '63 should have a "through saddle":although that bridge looks like it could be a modern Guild Indian RW replacement. I'll have to get over that bit of disappointment if true.
We’ll need a year as well as pics of the condition to offer any advice. Just a little info.Resurrecting this thread may be a bad idea considering it'll probably dredge up responses to the old posts, but I didn't think this question merited a new post:
I'm cleaning out some old gear (partially because I have too much and partially because of an expensive weightlifting-related surgery I'm recovering from), and was going to post this on the for sale section of the site and, honestly, I have no idea what it's worth at this point. I think I paid a little over $600, not including setup and repairs, but I don't see them come up much online anymore (not to mention my quest for a 60s model over the last couple years has gotten tremendously difficult).
Anyone know what a fair price might be, either for the public or for local ~Guild Forum Elites~ on this thing?
I forgot that was a thing. I'm used to using the "price guide" on there, which is nigh useless.Sold listings on ebay or Reverb might provide a good reality check on recent prices.
Hey JK, did you mean to show us a guitar in your comment? Not sure what you're referring too.
Yeah, sorry, I assumed people would infer that I was referring to the 1972 guitar I posted about for the first post of this thread. My bad.We’ll need a year as well as pics of the condition to offer any advice. Just a little info.
Barring seeing a photo of your guitar, does it have a serial number on the backside of the headstock or on the label inside? That would help us date the guitar. My 72 and 73 F30 both have the so called "mini jumbo" shaped body vs the Martin style OM shape. Also, both have the deeper body that you describe.

Hi Tommy I have just bought a 1973 Guild F50 Blonde or so I thought because the label seems to say F30 ? The guitar measures 17 inches from top to bottom and it has a curved back.
How do I discover if it is a F30 or F50?
Serial Number 82934
