Hi LTG community,
I would be interested in any thoughts any of you may have about this Guild F50 jumbo. Based on the serial number, it appears to be a '75. The top and back each appear to be one-piece(!) maple. The binding is cracking and it appears that someone attempted a repair near the 12the fret. The finish on the top shows many cracks, but the wood itself appears to be in good shape. It plays great though it could use a set-up.
The current owner says he got it from his uncle, who said it had belonged to John Denver. (The uncle is said to have bought it at a JD concert??).
Considering it's over 40 years old, and solid maple (I believe), I feel like its something I might like to acquire. Any thoughts?
Also, does anyone have any idea if it's possible to find out if this really did belong to John Denver?
Thanks!
Jason
