Default NGD GUILD JF 30 1991

I did it. And I'm not sorry either. Its in pristine shape, has a new set up on it, not a lot of bass but very very balanced.

Fantastic - great find, beautiful guitar.

John Pearse pure Nickels can warm up that tone.

Nice. Very nice.

You can't beat a Westerly Guild.

Looks like she would be loud as well. Love the tone of the jumbo Guilds. Happy NGD!

Totally agree. I always wanted a J200 but forgot about it when I found an F50R. That's a beautiful JF 30.

Nice - I have the 12-string version (built on an F-412 platform with incredible woods), played a bunch of 6-strings over the years, and IME those Westerly-era maple Guild JF-30/F-50 jumbos deliver what their J-200 contemporaries don't...

Use it well and often...

Oh that is sweet, congrats.

Having a Maple B/S guitar in one's stable is something I longed for a long time and then I found this guy.
