..pass this one up. Even though I couldn't physically lay my hands on it first.
Just in case, it's a good thing for a liberal return policy.

Will be in my hands first part of next week.
The body style and size that I prefer.
Been wanting a RW Guild.
Just the right amount of bling.
Rare bird, from what I could find out. Limited run.
Westerly.

any guesses?


Might have think about doing a little thinning. :hopelessness:

Paul Simon F30r?
F30R-LS from the Nashville Custom Shop?
(First guess was actually that F5ce being offered by a member here, but that wasn't really "limited" although not too common)

I'll guess F30R? Congratulations regardless, you and GAD have been on a roll!

[Edit: Never mind. "The body style and size that I prefer." That would not be a dred.]

I'm stumped... like GJM said the only other rosewoods I could find were dreads.
I do recall some "GV" models but can't find any of 'em to see specs on our go-to resource Westerlyguildguitars.com
Guess I'll be wondering all weekend 'cause I'm about to sign off..but I bet you're having a chuckle over the guessing game and I'm glad for ya!

Hahaha...Al kinda beat me to it! The GV52 was a jumbo...and RW...but I think it was a smaller jumbo than the F or JF.

Yes, I'm thinking it was F40 sized but definitely rare.
And assuming you've got the right model number ("52" would fit for rosewood), I'd give you the win for that, if it's correct.

Oh my, close, very close, but no cigar.
I thought it would've been easier, with all the clues and all.:smile-new:

First available in 1994. Don't know how true, but possibly only 59 made.
Can't wait to see the beautiful sound hole rosette in person. Dot inlays.
Great looking headstock too. (no chesterfield). Gold hardware.
I know a least one of our members speaks very highly of this model.
