Guild G-41 "Super Jumbo" Dreadnaught - Vintage 1976, w/OHSC

 

Wowza. Talk about a cool guitar. Here's a rare 1976 Guild G-41 "Super Jumbo" Dreadnaught. This thing is large, in charge and frickin' loud. This one is in Excellent vintage conditon showing very little wear for a 50 year old instrument. NO cracks or repairs, very few nicks and dings, clean frets and fretboard. Super clean. When it came in, the bridge was lifting, but has been professionally reglued and is good to go for the long haul. Action is low and very comfortable(.09 or about 5/64  on the bass side and .065 or about 4/64 on the treble side, capo on first measured at the 13th). It doesn't need a neck reset just yet - currently, there is room to take the saddle a TINY bit lower with some bridge notching. If maintained appropriately, it should provide plenty of good playing years before needing the neck reset. As for tone - this thing sounds huge. Here's a good quote from our friends at Kansas City Vintage Guitars "The G-41 is a somewhat overlooked model today, but those who have spent time with them know just how impressive they can be. Think of it as a big, powerful sound with excellent clarity and focus. It has the volume and projection you'd expect from a large-bodied acoustic, but with a tighter and more controlled response than many jumbo designs."

Includes the original hardshell case in OK condition - handle and latches are all there and working, but there is some tape holding the tolex near the top of the case. All in all, rad/rare guitar in astonishingly good playing and cosmetic condition.
