WTB Wtb - f112

[F312]

And a '76 on the Rochester, NY CL. Price might be a little strong on this one, too.

That's still cheap, in my Kindle.

looks like a nice one, other than the book matched neck cracks from over-tightening the twin truss rods.

i still think 1195 is too high. i see these more in the $700-800 range. maybe 900?
like a 12 string version of the D35.

Ah, good catch.

The neck cracks are fairly common. Don't rule it out just over that. Agreed with Wood though; $1195 is too high.

I could be wrong but my memory is that the only permanent fix for that is a new neck, basically makes the guitar write-off or a "project" because where are you going to find a good neck without buying a whole 'nother project guitar.....

has potential as a player grade for sure, but these are grossly undervalued as it is. hard to say if it needs any attention. im sure it's salvageable, if salvaging is even necessary...still a shame, as 1976 F-112 is a pot of gold

Pick marks, and bridge has been sanded down, but otherwise looks good and price sure is right. (And invites offers too.)

I'm really looking for a late 70's but sent him a message anyway for some measurements.

Richard P is one of our most active forum members! Myself, Tex, Rich Cohen and many others have purchased from him.

I can see why. He responded quickly and thoroughly twice to my questions. Definitely the kind of seller I would want to work with. Unfortunately this particular guitar isn't the right one for me. Perhaps a good candidate for someone else however.

$600.°°, or make an offer, you have the incentive to invest.

Can someone recommend a good luthier/repair person in MA (I’m NE of Worcester) preferably who knows old Guilds.
I picked up a 1979 F112 but it needs work. It is playable now with decent action and intonation but needs a nut, saddle and setup. Likely needs a reset in the near future as the bridge is low (4-5/16). Not sure if it was cut down at some point. Hoping I can get a few years out of it before a reset. Pics as soon as I can...

 

[chazmo]

Mike, FYI, I PM'd you about Pete Maricle who's done a bunch of excellent work on my Guilds and others over the years. Again, check with Glenn (wileypickett) who might have other suggestions if it doesn't pan out with Pete.

 

[mavuser]

i may have a NOS bridge for that, if u wind up needing one. congrats! they all need a little work/set up

Mouradian Guitar Repair in Wilmington MA also has a fine reputation. Sadly, while searching for a weblink for their business, I realized that the founder (Jim) passed away last year.

Apparently his son (also very experienced) is carrying on with the business:

Ok, I just dropped her off (yes, she is a she) at my local luthier who I thought was away but is not! His assessment was mostly in line with mine. He thinks it should be good for a a couple years before needing a neck and bridge reset. He thought the bridge didn't look cut down, but will take a closer look. So a good cleaning, nut, maybe a saddle, set up, maybe touch up to the frets and I should be in business in a week or two. I snapped a couple quick ones for now but will do a true NGD when she (who needs a name) comes back from the Spa.

That's purty, Mike!
