What makes this guitar special:  100% original & in great shape for its age.  The double Guild humbuckers sound amazing & the phase switch is a nice bonus feature.  Gorgeous tone & texture with a groovy vintage vibe.  Professionally inspected by the experts at Cream City Music & set up by our own luthier, so it plays & sounds fantastic!Cosmetic Condition:  Really nice shape for its age with some mild play wear - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & light finish wear.  The binding has yellowed somewhat over the years & there is a faint nicotine odor to the guitar, but it's not overtly offensive & seems pretty old, which means it could disappear over time.  Some polish may even take some of it out as well.  Overall the guitar has a wonderful, gently used look to it with a gorgeous patina.Neck:  Slender profile mahogany neck with cream binding & black side-dots.  Super dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays.  Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Mother of pearl Guild & Chesterfield headstock inlays.  Guild embossed Schaller tuners are in perfect working condition.  There's a very old music shop decal on the back of the headstock which we decided to leave alone.  1 5/8" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss functions fine.Body:  Single cutaway, solid mahogany body with 5-ply top binding.  Stop tailpiece & six-saddle adjustable bridge with chrome hardware.  3-ply b/w/b pickguard is in great shape with no cracks.  Guitar weighs 7 lbs 9.7 oz.Pickups:  Guild humbuckers with black bezels.  Bridge - 6.95K ohms; Neck - 7.75K ohms.  Dual volume & tone controls with Guild logo knobs; master volume; 3-way pickup selector switch & 2-way mini toggle for phase shifting.  All electronics are original & in perfect working condition.Case:  Original hardshell case included.  The handle broke off quite some time ago & there's red rope in its place.  Overall the case is in great shape, but also has a faint nicotine odor.  Hopefully that will clear up over time.
