Guild / A50 / 1960 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
|
The Guild A50 was only made between 1956 – 1972, designed to rival the Gibson L-48 and ES-125 models of their day, and have since become excellent options for players looking for an American made vintage archtop at a more affordable price. This Hoboken made 1960 example is particularly desirable because of the early Script Guild headstock logo and the original ‘Ghost’ label. It has all the standard features of the era, including the earlier open-book headstock shape, unbound Rosewood fingerboard with Mahogany neck, nitrocellulose finished all Maple laminate body, and Nickel hardwear. This guitar works really well for blues, jazz and swing, has a very comfortable neck, and a great playing action all the way along the fingerboard. It’s in excellent, all original condition – the dark sunburst is still vivid. This guitar has really striking good looks, and a wonderful vintage feel. It comes in it’s original, but quite fragile hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
