Thanks everyone but let’s not forget the crack on the back mentioned by the tail block I missed .
She has a good chance of going back :(

Wow, thar's a bar (bear) in them thar woods!

Ray, that is a really amazing-looking guitar. Congrats. Boy, you don't see much bear-claw with that much figuring often. All I can say is WOW!

BTW, I know this is a NH GSR, but I seem to recall that Tacoma built a few Koa F-47s too. That's a vague memory, though, so caveat emptor. :)

Tx was kind enough to tell me about the crack at the tail piece section , I missed that completely guess I didn't look it over good enough.

Tx is pretty darned good at that!!!

the top on that guitar is insane! i'd explore getting some cash back and keeping the Guild, if that is an option. just get the crack repaired. if it's just a finish crack, that will happen regardless down the road. anyway, congrats! that top is crazy

So did Tx notice that in the pics because I sure can't see a thing.

Tx noticed a slight lift in my former F50R bridge from a picture, a bad picture at that, that I sent him. I never saw it.

Hopefully it is getting fixed soon!

It is in good hands my friend. She will be good as new in the next few weeks!

Yes he did , if you click on the image and enlarge it you’ll see it clear as day . I zoomed in on some of the photos just not that one and in taking that photo the phone block my veiw haha .

One reason I may have missed it is the low lighting in my house . I flipped it this way and that but the diffused lighting did not high light it .

Plus my eye was focused on that center strip . 😁

Is it in the last picture a slight white line about parallel to the center strip? This doesn't look like finish checking.
