Hey everyone. Greetings from Arizona!
I am selling my 1996 JF55-NT. While it is my fanciest and perhaps finest guitar, I am going to sell it.
I have a troubled 16 year old and I need to purchase a used enduro motorcycle so that he and I can trail blaze some to keep him more occupied. Father and son time, searching for ways to get him through the "awkward" years before he leaves an undesirable permanent mark on his life.
The sale will support the purchase of a used dual purpose motorcycle so he and I can get lost some as "just a couple guys in the desert wandering free."
I purchased the guitar on eBay 5 or 6 years ago as part of my "collection." It's beautiful, just some finish cracks keeping it real but not at all distracting from the instrument IMHO.
Plenty of saddle, excellent action, crazy great resonance, TKL case.
It has silver tuners and an Fishman pickup installed. I've done nothing to the guitar except play it and keep the strings fresh. Right now DR PB med-lite.
At the time of purchase I had expendable income and I had over 10 Westerlies at one point. I'm more of a wannabe player than a wannabe collector and seeing such amazing instruments sit was more than I could justify personally so over the last few years I sold off all but the 4 I now have left. I'll be down to 3 with the sale.
I just want to be as honest as I can about the guitar, it's expensive and someone should get what they pay for. You guys are the experts, I have all the respect in the world for your Guild expertise as I've witnessed through the years on this site. To me it's just a beautiful instrument all the way around.
Were the silver tuners stock? I see gold tuners were available too? No electronics were stock on this year and model, correct? I'll post it on LTG first with hopes it stays in the community. Any information you can provide would be very much appreciated. Maybe throw in a thought or two about a starting price if you could.
Thank you in advance,
Bruce
