Morgan Monroe M50-V (vintage voiced): Solid Sitka Spruce top with Solid Indian Rosewood back/sides.
The stats on this guitar are here: http://www.guitarworld.com/node/889
Fishman Sonitone piezo and Sonicore preamp system.
Currently strung up with a new set of Elixir Mediums, and has brass bridge pins (for added tone, durability and clarity) with abalone accents, to match the inlay on the guitar.
Gator hardshell case purchased new when I bought the guitar.
$625 cash takes it, plus paypal and shipping costs. This guitar has great tone, and is a great player, it just doesn't fit my hands the way my Eastman and HD28 do (I prefer a wider string spacing, and this one has the narrower 1 11/16" nut spacing). The guitar is not perfect, and has light scratches and soforth from normal playing, but the frets still look in good shape, and it has been taken well care of. As noted in the YouTube video, I got the guitar and it already had the spots on the back...couldn't polish them out, but it has never been an issue for me...the guitar is still beautiful and is a real player, at a fraction of the cost of a Martin, and a considerably even more less of a cost than a Martin that is this ornate!

Nice looking guitar, John, I'm thinking hard about this one. I'm really looking for a nice blonde Guild, but I am a sucker for bling and a narrow neck...as I have itty bitty hands.
In any event, best of luck on the sale.
Duncan

Thanks for the kind words, Duncan  I have to confess, the bling is what drew me to this beauty when I got it several years ago....were it not for the narrower spacing I'd probably keep it, but I just got an Eastman with the wider spacing that suits my needs and I don't want this one sitting around getting no play time. Good luck to you as well in finding the Guild you seek |
