Hi Y’all,
How is it going? This is my first Guild a “new-to-me” GAD F-130. I am a casual beginner self-taught, but am going to take classes soon. So wanted a nice guitar. I played a D-150 at a used music store and absolutely loved the sound. So started hunting for one as that dread was a bit out of my budget. I also have a dred a Takamine G-10. Then I came across this a couple of nights ago.
Mfg. Date: Oct 2011
Top: Solid Spruce
Sides & back: Mahogany
Bought this off someone in my neighborhood for $360 (not sure if that’s good, but seen very few listed around $700). Didn’t come with solid case. No blemishes or even scratches what to ever.
This morning I noticed some belly bulge. I immediately took of the old strings and it went away. I have ordered Elixer lights. I am hoping the strings were wrong. I have looked for any issues with bridge plate and bracing by “feeling with my nails” and there doesn’t seem to be an issue (to my uneducated probing). Any guidance will be appreciated! I didn’t take a pick before but will post again after new strings.
Buuut!!!!! NEW GUITAR DAY!!!
