This guitar does not play around! The formidable Guild F-412 packs quite a punch sonically and ascetically. This guitar is from 1974 and features a beautiful 3 piece maple neck with a fully bound ebony fret board and 3 way pearl/abalone inlays. The bridge is also ebony and the top is spruce.a figured maple-veneer on the back gives it a "pretty blonde" look and multi-ply binding all over add a touch of class. 1 11/16" nut width and a slim C shaped neck make this guitar very comfortable to play. There are some thin lines of finish checking under the pick guard and by the neck heel but nothing out of the ordinary for a guitar this age. The neck is very straight and action low considering how old this guitar is. Ready to make you music sound huge! Comes with a tkl hard shell case.
