Value of 70's Guild F-50R

Brass Saddles · August 3rd, 2006, 09:41 AM

Folks I bought a mid 70's Guild F-50R from Guitar Center last year for $699. It's an awesome guitar, but it has been played big time. Not mint but anymeans but all there. Whats the value on this instrument

I may sell it to a friend to buy back my Martin D-1R. A friend said I would be nuts to sell it (Guild) for $600. He thinks it should be worth over $1,000.
I'm torn the Guild is a hell of an acoustic but I don't play it and at the same time I don't want to give it away.
I'm a Tele guy 52 R.I. and 53 Esquire many changed parts.

Thanks

Brass,

Blue Book (9th ed.) says the following for F-50R (rosewood back/sides):

1970-1974 Avg. Condition range $1,200 - 1,350

1975-1990 Avg. Condition range $1,000 - 1,150

Add $150 for Fishman electronics

Hope this helps...

Folks: I appreciate it very much. I'm a Tele guy like I said who has this big jumbo Guild and have no idea really what it goes for. I don't have access to Vintage Guide etc. I was going to sell the Guild to a friend for $600. Now I may put it on Ebait.

Thanks
