Summary: This slightly smaller body refuses to make a sacrifice in tone or volume. The Guild F-20 models were built for comfort and playability, making them ideal for a couch or campfire guitar. But it’s also big on traditional features like solid wood construction with a Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides It has all the tone you’d expect from a larger guitar while ensuring you’ll never outgrow it. This 1981 Guild F-20 was built in Westerly, RI and wear in all the right places making it a very comfortable instrument.

Cosmetics: This guitar has tons of finish checking on the top of the body (See Photos Please) and on the back of the headstock. It has various nicks, dings, and light surface scratches throughout. The back of the neck is clean and smooth, and the frets are in great shape. There is a small spot on the back where the finish has chipped off on the edge near the binding.
