The finish is original and in excellent condition.  The guitar is light for a Guild - it weighs 5 lbs 6 oz. This lighter build contributes to the projection of the guitar. Scale length is 25.625\" with a 1.6875\" nut.  You'll see some finish checking lines here and there in the pics - they are not cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Fishman under-saddle pickup system was added, and the saddle is new Tusq made by our in-house tech. There is a professionally cleated repair for a crack on the back, visible in our pictures shot inside the guitar. The original hard case is in very good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuild started out in New York City in 1952, and the first-year D-50 in 1964 was built in Hoboken, New Jersey. The original D-50 was dubbed the Bluegrass Special, which gives you a good idea of what it was built for. Fender bought Guild in late 1995, and the factory kept moving, from Westerly, Rhode Island to Corona, California to Tacoma, Washington. During the Tacoma years the tops on the D-50 switched from Sitka to Adirondack spruce, which is what you get on this one. In 2009 Guild relocated again, this time to share factory space with Ovation and Hamer in New Hartford, Connecticut. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 5 lbs 6 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHas Truss Rod: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 25.625\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1.6875\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .843\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: .96\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Length: 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower Bout: 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper Bout: 11-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Depth\/Thickness: 5-1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall Length: Overall Length: 42-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickguard Color: tortoise shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickguard Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eStrap Buttons: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Material: mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Profile: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuner Brand And Model: Gotoh open gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Material: bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: Pearl dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Material: Adirondack Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Cracks: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
