Guild Acoustic Electric B4E

[Philonius]

OK, let's see how this goes; not your average fare. I'm going to sell my Guild, cause it's just taking up closet space (that I hope to fill w/ a fretless!) I'm the second owner of this nice American built acoustic w/ factory installed Fishman active peizo pickup. Comes with all original hardware, HSC, and documentation. Apparently manufactured in 1995 so it's pre-whatever. : )

I'll call it good cosmetically; there is a shallow but fairly long scratch on the back, courtesy of the repair shop who fixed a loose connection that it came to me with. And there are some light watermarks -or something- on the face/belly area. Again, not my handiwork.

More detailed pictures upon request, but for starters, here is a first look:

It's a short scale, so not thunderous, but a sweet, mellow, easy to play instrument. Just the thing for your Black Sabbath cover band.

Asking $600 shipped CONUS, but feel free to tell me if I'm off my rocker. I'm a TB newebie, but check my perfect ebay feedback as seattlepk.

Bump. Comments? Price negotiable.

Are you interested in trades at all?

Not bad at all! Where was it made?

In the OP: "American built". To most of us, that means the good old US of A.

Sweet bass, BTW. Were I looking for an acoustic/electric, this is one I'd want. Kind of reminds me of "MTV Unplugged."

Still here, though I've gotten a few inquiries. Some answers to questions that have come up:
American made all right, Westerly R.I. to be exact. USA baby! How are we doing in the World Cup? I'm out of touch.
It's got a nice low action, about 1/8" at the 12th fret, and no buzzing. Plus there is a truss rod so neck relief is adjustable if it ever came to that.
The body is 20" long, 16" wide at the belly and 3" deep with a slightly arched back.
Frets are in very good shape, I'll say 8.5 out of 10, but I'm no expert.
Could prolly' use a new set of strings....

If you have questions, want to propose trades, etc. PM me. I don't check this post on any regular basis.

Used to have one of these and it had amazing tone unplugged. It was perfect!

Is it just me, or....... ? "Comes with all original hardware, HSC, and documentation."

Anyway- SOLD to Hawkeye the Newfie. $600 shipped to CanadaLand.
