I bought this guitar in 1970. Serial number is AG 3153. Can’t find this number anywhere online. Sticker is Hoboken NJ. Have loved this little guitar for decades and want to do a little research.

Hello GCT,

Welcome! That particular Guild F-20NT was brand new when you bought it since it was completed in Westerly, RI during the year 1970.

Sincerely,

Here are current photos. It’s been played a lot over the years but sounds sweeter than ever.

Congrats and good on you. These are sweet, little guitars with a surprisingly large voice.

Welcome to the LTG Forum. There is a lot of love around here for the F-20 model. Thanks for the photos. It is likely that your guitar was made in the Westerly, Rhode Island factory. The company was in the process of moving from Hoboken to Westerly during the years of 1967 to 1969. They used the old labels from the Hoboken plant, until they ran out. You have owned and played that guitar for over 50 years! I guess you could say it's a "keeper".

Welcome! Original owner of a great guitar - nice!

The fact that you've kept the guitar for 53 years says a lot about how great it must be.
