That's a beauty dude. Love that 'burst.

"I just don’t want anything spilled on it."

C'mon, a little bourbon ain't gonna hurt it. If it does, a little bourbon will help you.

The "Wayfaring F50r" that I got from Neal awhile ago is such a great sounding and playing guitar that it has quickly become my favorite!
And I have SO much fun playing it on stage and at home, but I guess I kinda goofed up by having Kris Kristofferson sign it! LOL!

I'm sort of reluctant to take it to some of the places I play now! Not that I play bad places...but accidents CAN happen. And before, it was just a nice players-grade Guild Jumbo...but now that it's signed by a celeb, someone MIGHT have designs on it! My friends think I'm too trusting (I mean, like, really, who's going to steal from ME?) but I AM in L.A.
It won't stop me from playing it, but it'll just make me a bit more careful and selective where I take it! (And I haven't had the signature "sealed" yet, because I don't want to affect the tone!)

You could get a sheet of this and cut it to size...https://www.ebay.com/itm/Blank-Shee...hash=item2a8f75007f:m:mM3qTmV3O-gWNph46u3lm5A

Then don't worry about playing it.

Great Grab Retro! That sure is a pretty burst finish. I would bet if the marks on the head stock bother you that you could get a good Luthier to repair the finish in that area and blend in some Nitro to even it out. Regardless it is a beautiful F50R and I hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Seems like F50R's are falling out of the sky right now with a couple in the FS/FT section and more than a few on Reverb, Craigslist, and Ebay. I am trying to show some restraint!

So true! They seem to be popping up!
And the guys want to try and hold near their asking prices too!
(The Tacoma F-50R on reverb for 1600 is the one that I mentioned in an earlier post that is just one serial number away from the Wayfarer.)

And it isn't just ANY 'burst...this particular one looks so rich and the edges go so well with the rosewood!

I am SO hoping the one I'm getting is comparable in sound, volume, and play-ability to the one I got from Neal. (Kinda hard to type with fingers crossed!) LOL!
