Hi... My name is Harmony and I have a Guild Guitar Model F-20-N.T. Serial number 18909. I was wondering if you would know the year this guitar was manufactured and what it might be worth. The bone saddle is warped a bit but it intonate's correctly. Many years of music was played on this guitar during the 60's but unfortunately has sat for decades after my friend was killed in a car accident. Would love to sell to someone who has a heart for this guitar. If music be the food of love, play on.

What is a 1959 Guild F20-NT worth? by: J.P.
Hi, my name is J.P. and I inherited a 1959 Guild F20-NT serial #9728. I was originally told it was a 52', however upon some research, I found the serial number to point to a 59'. I'm not sure if that is correct though. The guitar is in nice shape and has huge sound for such a tiny instrument. The only real flaw is that the glue that holds on the manufacturers label inside the guitar has bled through the finish on the back side of the body of the guitar. Besides that, it still plays quite nicely. I also have the original case and the tag that was on the neck when it was new. It is by no means perfect, but really nice considering the age. Since it sat in my grandmothers closet for over 50 years without much use, I am not particulary sentimental about this instrument and would like to sell or trade it in for a new Guild. I was wondering if you could help me put a value on it. Thanks for your time and I love this site...great work!

Guild F 20 NT by: Paul
I own a 1956 model, serial # 3337 (or perhaps 3887, as the hand numbering on the label has bled a bit). Great little guitar for Jimmie Rogers songs.
