This guitar is a commission sale. If you have a high-end or vintage guitar you are interested in selling please contact us.
 
Due CITES regulations & the likelihood that the fingerboard is made from Brazilian Rosewood, this guitar is offered for sale to UK BUYERS ONLY.
 
Here for sale we have a Guild Custom order M75 from 1962. Whilst being a customer order this guitar has also been heavily modified. Made in Hoboken, New Jersey, in the old R. Neumann Leathers building, this guitar features a lightweight hollow body that measures 13.75” wide and is 2.15” deep and consists of Mahogany back and sides and Spruce top. The F holes have been filled with foam as a way to reduce feedback by a previous owner. 
The Mahogany neck is topped by a 22 fret Ivoroid-bound Rosewood fingerboard. The headstock features a Turquoise “G” inlay and aftermarket Wilkinson tuning machines. Other appointments include aftermarket TOM style bridge and Bigsby tailpiece. 
 
Three unbranded single coil pickups have been fitted and wired to a 3-way pickup selector, independent volumes and a master tone control. This guitar has been refinished by Rob at Dick Knight guitars in a ‘Firebird Red’ finish.
 
The Mahogany neck plays very nicely, with a profile which might be described as a smooth 'D' profile well suited to a wide range of playing styles and techniques. The Rosewood of the fretboard is pleasant under the fingers and provides a luxurious playing surface to explore. The smaller body shape is comfortable in the arms in both standing & seated positions, and even at 64 years old, the instrument retains a sense of luxury that is very pleasing. 
 
The three singlecoil pickups definitely hold their own unique character. They have a rich, open tone, with a warm low end, a tight and creamy midrange, along with an airy, articulate top end, providing loads of clarity across a wide range of tonal settings. The individual pickup volume knobs and 3-way tone switch help to inspire the exploration of different tones and sounds that can be made with the guitar. Well preserved & tastefully modified, this is a beautiful instrument that is ready to serve as a musical companion to its new owner for many more years.
