danishbacon · August 2022

2012 Guild F-20 Standard, built in New Hartford, Connecticut, USA

Some specifications below. Includes the original Guild Deluxe Case. Lovely concert sized (think, slightly smaller than an OM but bigger than a parlour).

Plenty of saddle left and currently set up for medium/low action. Lots of life left on frets. A few dings here and there from 10 years of playing but no cracks.

priced at £1250

It's a high spec instrument throughout, hand scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing.

Guild Standard Series guitars represent the essence of the Guild acoustic legacy. With their supreme playability, understated elegance and unmistakable full and balanced sound, they are the quintessential Guild acoustic guitars.

The F-20 Standard is a concert-style guitar with refined features and a unique sound profile. It features a solid Sitka spruce top with red spruce bracing and solid mahogany back and sides that, together with its unique body dimensions, produces a focused sound with excellent balance and articulation. Its slim satin-finish mahogany neck and 24 3/4” scale length provide smooth, slinky feel and effortless playability.

Other refined features, such as ivoroid body binding, pearl inlays, and bone nut, saddle and bridge pins, round out the package to create an exceptional small-body instrument.
