This is a superbly crafted Guild semi-hollowbody guitar with an attractive white finish. The guitar is overall extremely clean showing no wear and the protective plastic film is still on the pickguard. The neck profile is a medium chunky rounded profile and is very comfortable in hand and plays spectacularly up and down the fingerboard. The pearl block are very striking. The Guild vibrato tailpiece works perfectly and helps give this guitar even more inspirational and creative options. The Guild humbuckers sound fantastic and are very capable of capturing those great vintage Guild tones and offer a different sound than a modern humbucker. All in all, if you're looking for an absolute stunner of a guitar, look no further.
