1972 Guild F-20 0-Size Guitar
Overview: This is a local customer's Guild F-20 that was in for repair and it's quite the nice guitar now that it's all done-up properly. I like these guitars a lot and, now that they've aged-in, they give Martin 0-18s and the like a good run for their money. This one definitely has a '70s Guild feel with a slightly wider nut and neck, flatter board, and a longer scale which yields a punchier, growlier tone as compared to the short-scale, 1 5/8" nut, '60s variants.
Repairs included: Between Jose and Jacobi, this got a neck reset, fret level/dress, bridge reglue, new bone saddle, and setup work. There were also some crack repairs and cosmetics to do, too. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
