FSOT -- Guild GAD 30R OM Sunburst (SOLD! Thanks, Patrick)

[dadeedo]

I'm selling my Guild Rosewood OM to finance a shorter scale acquisition -- maybe a 000-18, SCGC Vintage Southerner, or H&D DS12.  The Guild is a Chinese guitar, alright, but it's got great tone and volume.  It sounded so good, and looked so cool, I just had to buy it.  But after a few weeks, I find my tendonitis-prone hands reaching for my much easier to play Seagull instead of the better sounding Guild.  My solution: trade up/buy a high end short scale.

Anyway, The Guild is in excellent shape.  No dings or scratches or cracks.  The sunburst looks really cool.  (There is one spot the size of a quarter  -- you'll see it in the pix below -- on the side on bass side of heel where the finish is cloudy.  Any other seeming irregularities are just reflections from the camera flash).

The original tweed archedtop hard case is included.  It's got a great vintage vibe.

Mods:  It has a new dalmation pickguard that I think complements the sunburst better than the stock guild guard, and there's a dual source pickup that frankly does not do justice to the beautiful natural acoustic sound of this instrument. 

$599 including shipping to lower 48.

(I'll sell the strap too for what I paid for it if you really dig it, otherwise I'm keeping it!)

Too bad you won't sell to Canada    :<> But I think you forgot to post pics.  I'd sure like to see this one.

Evidently, the picture posting function requires a different syntax on this forum than is required on the Martin forum, where one of my computer savy offspring also posted my ad for me last night.

He'll be too rushed this morning getting ready for school to help out, but I'll bet he'll be able to get the pictures posted here sometime this afternoon.  Meantime check out the ad at the Martin site:

I'll sell to Canada, but I have no idea of postage and insurance costs/complications.  If buyer is willing to bear these, I'm open to a deal.

Thanks for your interest.

dadeedo, I am definitely interested in the guitar if it is still for sale. I've been looking at getting an OM guitar for awhile and just got the ok from the wife. I really love the look of those burst Guilds.  Is there any sort of payment u prefer if still is for sale-Paypal, money order,etc. Patrick

hi,

i am interested in these guitars but have not been able to find one to play.  what do you find uncomfortable about it, the scale/string tension?

i have trouble with thin necks and had heard the neck on these was slimmer then on larrivee's.  do you find the neck comfortable?
