So here I am selling one that I thought I'd never sell, but never say never, I guess!
2003 JF30-12 Antique Burst in excellent+ condition with many upgrades. It rings like a bell like only a Guild maple jumbo 12er can. It was dead mint until I made the mistake of playing it out at a friend's birthday party last summer, and somebody must have dropped something on it while it was in its stand. Shame on me I guess, for putting a perfect condition guitar in that kind of position. I've learned not to do that again...
Looks immaculate from a few feet away, as can be seen in these shots.
Guitar was setup by my luthier, and includes an upgraded bone nut and saddle, and a K&K Western pickup (not a mini). This is the K&K that is meant specifically for 12 strings, and my luthier told me it was a bit of a bear to install (which was reflected in what he charged me to do it). Tons of saddle for future action reduction if needed, and super low action. Plays like a dream right now.
Not only is the action low, this is one of the JF30-12s that has an ebony fretboard and bridge. Most if not all of the earlier Westerlys had rosewood for the fretboard and bridge, though Hans might correct me on that.
In this next shot you can see the lone damage on this one up close. It still upsets me, but it's there, and there's not much I can do about it.
The back is perfect, and the machines are as well, as can be seen in the following pictures. another thing I've noticed is that this guitar has perhaps the best nitro finish that I've seen on any guitar, certainly on any of mine. For those that think that Corona Guilds were somehow sub-par (which I don't believe for a minute), I'll hold this one up as proof to the contrary.

Comes with a premium original Guild branded TKL arch top case that's perfect, and includes all original case candy and key. Not a mark to be found on it
I've got more into this one than my price of $1150 so that's pretty firm, and I'd prefer payment by check or Money Order, or PayPal "gift" or "payment owed" so I don't have to eat any fees. I have many successful transactions here and elsewhere, and offer an absolute 72 hour examination period. I will accept returns as long as you cover shipping both ways and return it in the same condition it left here. Shipping via Fedex Ground to the lower 48; ask me about other places.
