Playing Mississippi John Hurt's Guild F-30

Yep, this was one of his guitars. I came upon it during my visit to the Denver Folklore Center. The owner, Harry Tuft, brought it up from downstairs just so I could have a go at it. This is what Harry had to say about how he came about acquiring the guitar.
"Hurt gave it to Jerry Ricks, who brought it with him when he came from Phila. to work for me at the DFC. When he left, a year later, he sold the guitar to my friend David Ferretta, who passed away in 1994. As such it is in his estate, for his daughter, when I do finally find a buyer for it."
This was one of 5 Guild F-30's that Hurt owned over the years during his rediscover.
Harry and I immediately took a liking to each other which is why he went downstairs to bring up this 'holy grail' specially for me to play.
