For example, a Dreadnought guitar is suited to medium and heavier gauge strings, and as such are usually supplied with what’s known as 12’s or 13’s. This is due to the fact the body is designed to resonate louder, and the heavier gauge string, the more resonant and louder the sound.
Guild’s iconic M-20 was the first guitar off the production line in 1967, when the company had grown so much that they relocated to a new factory in Westerly, RI. Nearly 50 years later, history has repeated itself in a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in California.
The M-20 is a concert size acoustic guitar built with solid mahogany top, back, and sides, informally nicknamed “the Nick Drake guitar” for its inclusion on the album art for Drake’s album, Bryter Layter.
It features a rosewood bridge and fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and an extremely light satin finish that allows this guitar to truly sing.
The M-20’s modest appointments include a vintage style rosette and Guild’s peak logo inlaid in mother-of-pearl on the headstock.
Each M-20 comes with a hand-signed, numbered certificate of authenticity, and ships with a hardshell case.
Available in Natural, Vintage Sunburst, Natural with LR Baggs pickup, and Sunburst with LR Baggs pickup. The L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup system is made in California, USA.

Unlike typical undersaddle acoustic guitar pickups that are dependent on string compression for their sound, the L.R. Baggs Element Active System with Volume and Tone Control was engineered to mirror the soundboard’s movement as you play. At the heart of the pickup, a thin, flexible film sensor picks up the guitar’s most delicate nuances. With unrivaled dynamic range, the Element’s minimalist construction creates an intimate coupling between the pickup and guitar for the highest fidelity possible.
In addition to its treble tone control, the EAS-VTC features a revolutionary low frequency compression circuit which actively controls low end dynamics, creating an incredibly realistic and reliable amplified tone.

I really feel this guitar is worth more, but I have a few things I really need to move. So i've reduced the price drastically. You really won't be bummed you bought this... It's a great guitar, a little sad to see it go... Thanks for looking!
This is the real deal! A Westerly built USA Guild JF30. This guitar is in killer condition, a few minor nicks and dings (pictured) some beautiful checking on the finish and overall in perfect playable condition! Recently setup with new strings, adjusted the action, oiled, waxed, this thing is ready to go!
Solid spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, arched back, visually and tonally this thing is a knockout.
Sorry for all the hyped up language, but I really do think this is a great guitar!
I am not sure of the brand of pickup that is installed but I can assure you, it's awesome. I've played it live several times and it is incredibly full and rich with LOADS of gain. Powered by a 9v mounted internally with a gain knob inside as well (pictured) and a piezo p/u in the bridge, again i'm not sure of the brand, but it performs very well.
It was stored in a closet for 10 years before I picked it up a while back, and it has been a joy to have around.
Let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer any that you have. Buy this thing in confidence, it truly is a fine instrument.
I've shipped a few guitars like this in the past and I will insure that it is packed well and makes the journey in comfort.
