Ya gotta love those small bodied blues machines!

if it wasn't for that funky looking pickguard i'd totally go for this, nice!

Yes, I saw it a while back. Pity most guitars show up in the GAD colours and who knows if they'll ever be produced in the US. First the G-212 and now the F-20...

it's the same pickguard that was on the m-20 (see pg 120 of hans' book)

i like those open backed gotohs too on it. very nice

Definitely the same pickguard as the one in the book, but not the same as some of the older M20's like my '59.

Very cool! The thing is, though, like with other Guilds, a used example may end up being the same price or cheaper. It'll be interesting to see. Anybody know the price of a new GAD-F20?

For you Westerly buffs, there is a pretty nice vintage one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Guild-F-20-Acoustic ... 0163662830

It's just as I thought. I think I'd rather have a used F-20 with a few love bites on the surface. I still think it's cool, though, and a good deal for a new small bodied acoustic. If it keeps the Guild tradition going I'm all for it.

Gotoh tuners? A welcome improvement over the 3 in a line on mine.

Just for perspective "Guitar Manaics" in Tacoma, Wa has an early 60's F20 hanging on the wall,

Pretty sad shape, nasty crack in the top, crude neck reset, used hard, ; Asking price North of $1200.
