Product Description
GUILD 1962 Aristocrat – A well-played & much-loved authentic vintage guitar made in America. We were so excited when we received this guitar that the pictures were taken before we actually detailed the guitar. Th knobs have some haze that will have to be romped and the entire guitar detailed prior to delivery to it’s new owner. Very lightweight hollow body archtop guitar with warm, rich tone. Amazingly light and comfortable & tons of fun to play! Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina.

Original frets show still have much life left. Mother of pearl Guild & Chesterfield headstock logos have aged nicely. Replaced tuners are in good working condition. Rare 1 11/16″ nut width; 25″ scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine. Body: Single-cutaway, hollow mahogany body with spruce top in natural finish. Original Guild trapeze tailpiece with floating rosewood bridge & original black pickguard. There are no cracks in the body binding.
