Well, it's known that I'm not a burst guy, either, but I could learn to love that one. :encouragement:

Westerly's bursts tended towards the dark and "tobacco" unless based on "Cherry", but I think the lighting's darkening up that one besides.I'm not much of a "Burst" guy - preferring instead the au naturale look, but that is one NICE looking guitar! Is it the lighting in those pictures or is that really more of a tobacco Burst as opposed to the more traditional red/yellow Sunbusrt ?
Gotta have a full batch of photos to even guessHello everyone it’s been a long time since I was on here with this thread about my J26 sunburst. So long in fact that I had forgotten when I asked similar questions on another forum years later but I have forgotten which one! (at the risk of oversharing I have some memory issues due to epilepsy). Anyway it seems there was quite a lot of interest in the guitar at the time as it’s a rare one and serial number 1.
I’ve finally decided I want to sell it as I rarely pick it up and it deserves to be enjoyed. It plays well but has got loads of dents and nicks and glaze cracking. Obviously this would have an impact on value. scroll for photos which don’t show up the damage really. Anyone with any idea of value?
What sort of witchcraft is this?!I have de-photobucketed the images in this thread.
I’ll try to work out how to put them on againGotta have a full batch of photos to even guess

Mmm there’s only 7 posts on that thread as far as I can see. And the only link goes to a running club page. But… there is mention of a date stamp of December 1991 on the neck block of the JF26 and mine too has that tooPost #11 shows 3 pictures of your 1995 JF-26.

JF 26 - Anyone know the story?
I picked up a JF 26 yesterday. I don't think I have heard of one on this board. Does anyone know anything about this model? Some details: Serial # AJ 260014 Snakehead headstock with peaked "Guild" logo. Rosewood fingerboard. Spruce top Mahogany back and sides. Back is arched like an...letstalkguild.com

Hey, nice to see you posting, CK. Welcome back!Wow, talk about a zombie thread! My original post was last replied to over six thousand days ago!
My son has had that guitar for years, and as far as I know never really applied himself to learning to play it beyond strumming Wonderwall. I have not seen that guitar in at least a decade.
At one time I had a collection of Guild acoustics, almost one of every model. At that time there was not a Chinese line of Guilds.
I don't know about today's values because prices have gone up so much for USA built Guilds, but relatively speaking I would go by this formula:
'70's D 25 JF26
------------ = ------
'70's D 55 70's F 50R

(PS - When I sold my running store the new owner changer ISP's. All of my old photos and stories subsequently disappeared. Moral - don't count on the Internet for long term storage of memories, use a hard drive back-up or print them out and save them In hard copy.)
Duh. Weird that they Disappeared for a while…. Maybe just me not being au fait with forums."Post #11" was refering to this thread here!
