Cosmetic Condition: This vintage Guild guitar has aged well and is in good condition. The finish is glossy, but has worn down to matte or satin in some places. The finish has some scratches and finish checking throughout, as well as some abrasion wear around the tailpiece, bridge, and between the pickups. The back of the body is well worn, with sizable area where the clearcoat has worn through. The metal hardware has lightly tarnished with age. The truss rod cover has the initials "LRB" painted on it, and the back of the headstock has stickers with the same initials.
Serial Number: 13852
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are medium with moderate play wear.
