Guild Acoustic ID, Please?

Sadly, in my advancing decrepitude, I've come to asking the same questions more than once. Here's another. That lovely Guild acoustic in the video...what is it, and is that a replaced pick guard? Looks like the same size and shape as my F30...but?



I also love that funky National Cosmopolitan dinosaur the other singer strums 3 or 4 times. Almost bought this one, but came to my senses.

Vintage, short scale, and seggsy as hell! National guitars have endured as some of the most unique, eye-catching, and well-playing guitars of the mid-20th century. The Cosmopolitan is a 1/4" scale tone beast that features the original pickups and the original tone. Let's begin at the beginning.

Glad someone has revived the Everly Bros. sound.

Hello jedzep,

That's an F-40 from the mid-'50s. It's the correct pickguard for that particular period.

Big thanks, Hans. Another bucket-lister I'll never strum!

Not the "Desperado" I was expecting, but I enjoyed it!

Never heard of them but I dig their sound.
