Guild F-20NT Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1961), made in Hoboken, NJ, natural lacquer finish, mahogany back, sides and neck, spruce top; rosewood fingerboard, black chipboard case.
Overall length is 39 1/4 in. (99.7 cm.), 13 5/8 in. (34.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1/16 in. (10.3 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 24 3/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5/8 in. (41 mm.).
This guitar is in excellent playing shape and sounds fantastic. It remains mostly original with some light play wear and minor repair work. The finish shows some light dings and scrapes but no heavy pickwear. There is a repaired spruce grain crack on the top just behind the low E string running from the bridge to the bottom edge, solidly sealed but visible.
The headstock has a couple of patches to the veneer (which may have loosened long ago) and has been polished out, but fortunately the silkscreened Guild logo is still intact. The tuners look to have been changed to older Kluson Deluxe strips, probably a long time ago -- Guild usually used Waverly strips in this period. The neck has been reset and the guitar plays extremely well with the original height uncut bridge. This F-20 has a huge sound for such a small guitar, and is an absolute delight to play. Excellent - Condition.
