SOLD - FS Small Bodied Acoustic - Guild GAD-F40 ITB - offers/trades

daveww

Nice sounding small bodied orchestral style acoustic which punches above it's weight.  I've had it about 2 years and I think it's about 5 years old.  All solid woods.

Very good used condition.  No noticeable marks.  With hard case.  Was around £700 new and looking for £450 shipped in the UK.

Any trial or collection welcome.

Manufacturers general info:

The GAD-F40 features a Guild original grand orchestra-style body based on the 1954 version, with a 16” lower bout and slightly narrow upper bout for a unique tone with lots of depth.  The scalloped braced solid spruce top and figured maple body produces a dynamic range of tones, from warm and intimate to punchy and aggressive.

• Solid spruce top
• Solid figured maple back and sides
• Ebony fingerboard and bridge
• Bone nut and saddle

bump - come on folks I know everyone needs a bosom for a pillow but everyone also needs a nice small body acoustic as well.

Nice tone, good action, very light, resonant and easy to play

That's really really nice, I've never really looked at guild acoustics much but that one's lovely.

daveww

Thanks @Adam_MD    It sounds great too.  Made out of essentially the same woods as Tommy Emmanuel's Maton.

Very surprised there is not more interest.

I really really like this. Don't suppose you'd be interested in a PX involving a Takamine electro acoustic (EG440SC)?

@mcvw Sorry bud but it's a reluctant sale with cash needed to offset recent other purchases

Offers considered & possible interesting trades with cash my way

What type of trades do you have in mind?

daveww

Dunno but it would need to be with cash my way. Got enough guitars at the minute but I could be tempted with other things.......Tempt me......

PM'd

Hi @camf didn't receive a pm but noticed it and replied on my activity page.  Thanks but not looking for another low watt amp at the minute.  Recently bought a Yamaha THR10 for home use.

Id be interested in making an offer of £300 cash plus something or multiple things as a trade.

But what things are you looking at in a trade? You say you dont need guitars so how about pedals or a valve amp head (in need of repair). How about stamps or a French silver coin from 930AD worth about £100.

Or guitar making wood? Or good quality military/tactical knives?

I might have other stuff as well let me know

daveww

Sounds interesting 

Atm on my GAS list are...

Lightweight acoustic amp - zt lunchbox acoustic or fishman loudbox artist

TC Electronics Ditto Looper

Nice P90 to fit into the neck pocket of my bitsocaster

Owt interesting ......

Antique_Guitars

Got a TC Electronics Nova Delay but not the looper

daveww
