    Vintage Westerly 77 Guild F50R Jumbo Acoustic Guitar
    This is Guild's Jumbo model - big guitar - big sound!
    Serial # 164253
    Pro set-up - plays quite well.
    The resonance of this guitar is beautiful and
    the volume
    impressive. Mic it - sounds Amazing!
    Neck angle is fine - and does NOT need a neck re-set which is common in Guild guitars.
    An input jack was installed at one time - and there was also a very small volume pot on the top which I had removed and filled with a small Spruce inlay.
    All work done professionally as well as set-up by one of the finest luthiers in the US who has worked on celebrity owned guitars. If you want it to be electric - you place a high quality LR Baggs pick up in the soundhole - nothing should be placed on the soundboard of an acoustic instrument of this quality You can see in the picture the small spruce inlay.
    Spruce top
    Indian Rosewood Back & Sides
    Ebony Fretboard
    Abalone Inlays
    Binding has aged nicely - yellowed.
    Have owned 3 Guild F50s. 72' F50  Natural - Maple - and an 87' F50R - Indian Rosewood back and sides.
    This 77" F50R is way more resonant than the 87' F50R.  Wood has aged in 43 years and sounds great.
    Please look at all pictures - any questions - let me know. As with all my instruments - all sales are final.
    Thanks.
