Fred...took a nostalgic look at the old F hole Guild.

It is brown sunburst, with wear, but no bare wood showing. Has a Bigsby. Replaced the pickups...no cutting involved. Saved the original pick-ups. Played this guy for 30 years with no neck adjustment or fretwork necessary. Alternated with a Telecaster and wore out three or four of them.

Now, putting humbuckers in a Jazzmaster was a different story...lots of wood removed...ruined the value. Another dumb thing I did when I didn't know any better was to have an original ES 295 finished black. Oh Well..
