1969 Guild F-512: Looking for a luthier who has experience with Guilds of this era to help keep this one in shape

I am looking for a luthier based in Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, or North Florida.

There is nothing wrong with this guitar, I just need an experienced luthier close by who can help me keep this one in tip top shape and provide high quality repairs if needed in the future.

1969 Guild F-512: I could use some advice caring for this instrument from someone experienced with old Guilds.

I recently purchased this ‘69 F512 and I am looking for a mentor or luthier who can provide some insight to help me take care of it, as I do not have much experience with maintaining instruments of this age and rarity. (How often do I need to clean it, apply fretboard oil, have it setup / looked at, things like this)

What are some good options to amplify this without lowering its collector value?

I have recently purchased this 1969 Guild F-512, I would like to amplify it without lowering its collector value by making permanent alterations to the wood. I’m not familiar with amplification and would like some suggestions on the best options, such as pickups or other methods.

How serious is this crack on my 1981 Guild F-212XL

When I got this guitar about a year ago, the crack was barely visible. Now, as you can see, the bare mahogany is visibly between the lacquer.
