Nick Drake

''I only remember a Martin D28 and his Spanish guitar – that is not to say he did not have others.'' - Robert Kirby (wrote arrangements for Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layter)

"For folk fans, the original Guild M-20 will always be synonymous with Nick Drake. But where a lot of iconic artist-guitar associations are in large part visual, the all-mahogany M-20 was arguably an indispensible part of Drake’s understated, intimate, and mysterious musical reveries. Warm, just a little dark, but with a definition and articulation that makes it the perfect vehicle for fingerstyle melodies, the M-20 remains one of the most underrated guitars among Guild’s many legendary instruments." - Premierguitar.com (http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Guild_M_120_Acoustic_Guitar_Review)

Rosette and headstock match to Yamaha G-50 NT natural.

Althought photo is in B&W, the shade of the soundboard clearly indicate a Natural finish. A ceder top would have been more a darker shade.
