My apologies for the crummy pics, most are on my phone, lol, and at the moment' I'm not.
Here's my '67 F212 I bought new at Manny's on 48th Street in NYC and maintained by the late, GREAT, Carlo Greco at Alex Music. Battle-scarred and worn, it still sounds like an orchestra. Words can't describe how much I love this beast. :) <3

Welcome. Stick around - nice folks around here.

That is a great looking guitar; it just oozes mojo.

Hi and welcome emcee! Beautiful old F212. So very cool that you are the original owner since ‘67. Not too many people can say that. I bet she sounds heavenly.

Thanks! I traded my '65 Black Telecaster ($185) that my folks bought me and my Princeton Reverb ($80) in to Manny's Spring 1967 for the Guild w/case ($340). LOL. Whenever I question whether it was the right thing, I take out the beast and play it and there you have it. :)

Welcome. Also have a one owner Hoboken F212, mine's a '64. When I brought it to my long time luthier for a setup last year, everyone he showed it to was blown away by the sound. So have the regulars at one of my open mic spots, even more impressed by it than by my 2010 F512.

The 212 is a fine guitar. I have an old XL, but it's getting too big for me, so I'm planning to replace it with a regualr 212.

I love my 16" F-body. I'm sure you'll be happy.

I love using the line, that guitar is twice your age, when some twenty something is ogling my 70 D 35. I did however not buy my guitar new. That looks exactly how a guitar that age should.
