  Condition:

patina.

Slender profile maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots. Beautiful rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays. The guitar was professionally refretted & the frets are in great shape with no wear. Guild tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Single-cutaway hollow body with bound F-holes. Bigsby tremolo tailpiece with adjustable bridge on an ebony base. The ebony arm rest on the lower bout makes for a more comfortable playing experience.Spruce top with 5-ply binding.  Black plexi "stairstep" pickguard with gold Guild logo is in great shape. Maple back & sides also with 5-ply binding. The birdseye figuring in the back is just staggeringly gorgeous not be outdone, the ice tea sunburst finish really shows off the guitar's designed beauty. 17" lower bout width; 3 1/2" depth. Guitar weighs 8 lbs 4 oz.
