This GV70 was talked about in this thread - Guild GV70 NT Excellent Condition on the Ebay-bay ALERT!

I got it a couple of weeks ago. It was virtually unplayed - had some extra-light nickel rocker strings on it, which would certainly have deterred a buyer. For all I can tell, it's never come off the store wall long enough to have a serious finger on it.

Mini-jumbo width, full-jumbo depth. Lovely wood - the spruce top has nice silking and a tight grain, the rosewood is dark and clean, with an ebony board and bridge. Decorations seem inconsistent, with the abalone trim, no binding and simple dots on the fretboard.

Great sound, loud, clear, lots of resonance and good sustain. May be the match for my first GF60, now in Graham's caring hands.

Definitely a keeper. Heck of a buy, I figure.

Hi John and congratulations; I'm glad you're pleased with it. If you're out on the porch and see a cloud of dust coming up the road, that'll be Joe, Steffan, and I bringing some single malt and a couple of Guilds to back you up! 8)

I'll watch for that particular dust cloud, John. Now that would be a party.

John facilitated this deal for me - another seller who would only not ship outside the US, but wouldn't take a bid from an undesirable alien like myself even to ship to my us address. So John was good enough to place a snipe bid for me, then arrange shipping to my address rather than his. I can't say often enough what a wonderfully helpful and supportive group of friends are in this forum, even though most of us never have and never will meet each other.

My pleasure John and thank you for returning the favor with Coastie's guitar.
