The Guild Bible

[F30]

I've had this book for a quite sometime and just noticed this inside the cover.
Is this a signed copy or does everyone have this on the inside cover.

Oh and does anyone know what model Guitar was used for the headstock on the cover?

 

[GAD]

They are not all signed. Some are even personalized!

 

[Harp Tail]

The one I recently acquired isn't signed nor personalized, unfortunately. It is brand new, though.

I would guess a very late 60's or 1970/71 F-50. But that's difficult for me to pinpoint it exactly to the model or year just from a headstock. The position of the inlays tells something (similar to mid 70ies) as does the TRC (I believe from around 1971 onwards plastic). So maybe Hans can correct me.

Or an X-500? Same headstock and fingerboard style.

Did the old X-500s have the wide fret wire, GG? I, too, always assumed it was an old F-50. My old "Cap" ('67 F-50R) had frets like that. And, yeah, the TRC is late '60s, I think.

Good point. I'm not sure what fret wire was used on the X-series in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Possible but a 1971 X-500 with the metall TRC had much smaller triangle fretboard inlays.
