Up for sale, a 1977 Guild F-30R in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Crafted at the Westerly, Rhode Island factory, this vintage USA-made Guild benefits from a professional neck reset and a new carved and compensated bone saddle.
Tonewoods on this orchestra body acoustic include a solid spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a bound ebony fingerboard. The body measures 15 1/4“ across the lower bout, with a body depth of 4 1/2“. This F-30R offers great projection and note detail, with a crisp-yet-smooth punch on the plain strings and an open, full bass response. An exceedingly versatile instrument, it’s sympathetic to fingerpicking and delivers plenty of volume when strummed, with a woody chop and relaxed warmth only achievable via a nicely broken in soundboard. This F-30R weighs 5lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany
-Shape: Chunky C, measuring .865” 1st fret, 1.040” 12th fret

-Frets: Medium jumbo, light wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-6
-Scale Length: 25 1/2”
-Nut: 1 11/16”, bone
-Tuners: Schaller (Guild-branded), gold-plated
-Serialization: Six-digit stamp on peghead dates to ‘77 production
Body Specs:

-Label: “Westerly, R.I.,” serialized, Ishibashi (distributor) label on brace dating to '78

The gloss Natural nitro lacquer finish exhibits very sparse checking, and cosmetic wear is limited to light buckle worming central to the back, a few missing flecks of finish clear coat along the binding, and some minor marks on the body as a whole. There is similar wear on the neck binding and a few repaired splits in the binding as well, with a smooth gloss on the neck profile length that's free of palm wear.
The original black tolex hardshell case with blue plush interior is included.
