Built from 1964 to 1982, the Guild F212 came with a Natural Top (NT) and was based around a 16 inch wide Jumbo body of Spruce and Mahogany.

Here we’re looking at a very early Guild S-300 with a bolt-on Maple neck, built in late 1976 before the switch to a set-neck design. The S-300 was an original design, moving away from the rather derivative ‘SG’ shaped S-100 though much of the hardware and wiring was shared.

The Guild JF-30C is a rare bird, built in small numbers during 1988 and 1989 in Westerly, Rhode Island as a cutaway version of the 17 inch jumbo JF-30. A quirk of this example is that the label identifies it as a JC-30. Some non-cutaway JF-30 models were also identified as J-30 on the label.
