1975 Guild F-50 Natural
SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM
All of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer. Our setups always include inspection of (and necessary adjustment to): action, intonation, tremolo angle, truss rod, frets, nut, bridge, and more. We can accommodate special setup requests - additional charges and/or shipping delays of 1-2 business days could occur.
INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.

SPECS
Weight: 6.3 lbs
Case: Hardshell Case
Year: 1975
Cosmetic Condition: Very good condition with a good amount of scratches, dings, and checking throughout. Fretboard has some visible tearout from previous refret job. Detailed blemish/imperfection areas in listing photos.
Tech Notes: Stellar player, at a comfortable medium action with very minimal relief. Everything on the instrument functions as it should and no cracks on the body anywhere that we see. Strung up with 13-56 Medium Gauge Phosphor Bronze strings to really accentuate the sound profile. Light-medium finishing checking across the top, which is normal and a non structural issue, this is expected with the nitrocellulose finish.
Mods or Repairs: It appears to have had a refret at some point, evident with some very light tear out on board near the upper frets, a bridge reglue which was done very well, a nut shim (done in house). Light top surface board micro-fracture stabilized on frets 18-20 (see pics) no structural worry at all.
Neck Profile: slim/medium C
Neck Thickness: 1st: / 10th: .83" to .97
Fingerboard Radius: 12" (slightly flatter due to refret done, even and plays great)
Nut Width: 1.70"
Scale Length: 25.5"
String Gauge: 13-56
Please note: All measurements are taken in-house. While we strive for accuracy, slight variations may occur compared to manufacturer specifications due to the nature of hand-measuring.
