The letter and info from John should add value to the guitar with collectors. They are extremely rare and along with my PB guitars, were voted by Guitar Magazine as the best acoustics to come out of the Japanses mauufacturing system. Hope this helps, Paul Hi Roy,

He provided me with original advertising literature + copy of receipt for 12 string & six string sold to Cliff Richards he also told me what woods were used,what strings would be best & the trouble the japanese makers had getting the red Herringbone inlay. Iwould like to know approximate value now. Regards Roy Hi Paul

You can find them more in the States. Here's a link http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearList.aspx?GS=Y&SF0=12&SD0=1&SF1=8&SD1=1&FY=1960&LY=1980&Keyword=guild&TF=1&TI0=10 John Joyce was my playing buddy for over thirty years. He played a 1970's Guild F212 . Although on the YouTube clip, he's playin an Harmony Stella 12 string, made especially for a trade show in the 70's. If you go to www.fret-dancer.com click the about us page then click the John Joyce link. This will take you to John's page. Never been to Frailers in Runcorn. Regards, Paul Hi Stephen,

Firstly, how common is it to come across a Guild F212XL 12-string on the used market here in the UK? I have never seen one for sale here, in fact I see very few used Guild 12's on sale here. I guess that is how good they are! Many say the F212 and F212 XL are the greatest of 12-strings. Also, could you tell me a little more about the late John Joyce who you have mentioned in your ACOUSTIC column? I have tried finding out more info about him but there seems to be very little around. I love that clip of him playing Jubilee on Youtube. Also, do you ever visit Frailers guitar shop in Runcorn, Cheshire? I'm sure I saw you there a few months ago on one of my visits? That's it I think. regards Stephen Hello Paul,

I'd love to put the album back into my collection, is the album (and that tune in particular) still available ? Details if you have them please.

From a dealer, you'd probably be offered somewhere in the region of $30K. You grandfather has indeed left you a very collectable guitar of great value. If you decide to keep it, make sure it's well insured and stored in a safe place and at the correct temperature. Paul Hi Dave,
