Overview: This is a pretty-typical F212 from the early '70s. The body shape is a little "curvier" than the '60s models and the bracing a little stiffer. Tonally, though, this one is all there. It's got a nice, warmer, woodier vibe than most of these have and, post-repairs, it's playing spot-on. If you like jingle-jangle, balanced, 12-string sounds but maybe want a little more mrumph to the low-end, this would suit. The neck, per the usual for this time, is a little bigger than the '60s ones but still comfy.

Repairs included: I gave this a neck reset, Jose reglued the bridge, made a fully-compensated saddle and expanded the saddle slot, and set it up, and Molly gave it a level/dress of the frets and some crack repairs. It's now playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's mostly-original save for a new, bone saddle and likely replacement pins. There are several hairline cracks repaired on the top (to either side of the neckblock, one at the center seam below the bridge, and one under the strings between the soundhole and the bridge). There are numerous small scuffs, scratches, etc. throughout the finish of the body and back of the neck, but it mostly looks nice. There's the usual weather-checking here and there, too, throughout. The bridge has an invisible hairline crack repair just to its back edge that was done before our time. When I reset the neck I also added two bolts at the neckblock's interior to help keep the joint stable. The joint is also glued, too. Guilds have joints that are almost tenons (they're dovetails but with only about 1 degree of angle to the slot -- so not the most stable as the glue creeps as it ages).

It comes with: This has a chip case, as I recall.
