Sublime American made jazz guitar.  If you are looking at this seriously then you know the details.  The nut width is 1.75" and the scale length is 24.75".  This instrument is all one would ever need to play jazz and anything else that comes to mind.  Sweet and articulate with a quick and defined response.  The action is very low but very clean.  No buzzing.  I used Round Wound which is my preference.  13, 17, etc. The guitar was played and has some of those types of dings.  No abuse.  I small lacquer chip by the f-hole is photographed.  Otherwise most of the dings are harder to see.  The neck is flatter and wider than you might expect.  Guild made a number of them with the 1.75 width in those days.  It has been well maintained - it was my primary axe for several years.  It feels like a "bigger" 17" with nice projection.  If you're feeling like Benson from the 60's, this is it.  Or maybe some Burrell.  It has a great range of tone with the 2 original guild pickups.  Why sell?  I got a Guild Benedetto to replace it.  Another blonde!  And my wife... another blonde... doesn't want that many in the house!
