1963 Guild M20

SOLD  It’s unusual for a guitar to be linked with one particular musician, but the Guild M20 will always be considered the Nick Drake guitar. He can be seen with an M20 on his Bryter Layter album cover. Because of this association, these guitars don’t turn up very often – especially early 60’s models – and this one’s a beauty. A 00 size guitar, all Mahogany, in excellent playing condition, with a great feeling neck and comfortable action. The guitar sounds rich and warm, with a beautifully smooth bass and well balanced mids and trebles – it sounds great with delicate fingerstyle, very articulate when picked harder, and a surprisingly big sound when strummed. The guitar is in excellent, all original condition for a 62 year old guitar, with a particularly striking Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard. It comes in it’s original hard case, which is also in excellent condition.
