This is a special one. An early Hoboken-era Guild M-20, serial number 1077, built during Guild’s earliest years in New Jersey. The M-20 is one of those guitars that instantly makes sense the moment you play it—lightweight, incredibly responsive, and packed with that dry, woody mahogany tone that players chase in vintage acoustics.
It has the warm, broken-in sound that only comes from decades of playing, with a rich midrange and surprising volume for such a comfortable small-body guitar. Whether you’re a songwriter, fingerstyle player, or simply a fan of great vintage American acoustics, this M-20 delivers the kind of character that’s becoming harder and harder to find.
Early Hoboken Guilds don’t come around every day, and this is a fantastic opportunity to own a truly historic example from one of America’s great guitar makers. Plays great, sounds incredible, and has all the charm you’d hope for from a vintage Guild.
Ships promptly and will be packed professionally.
