    A Luthier looks at a Guild F2512

    Just thought this may be of interest for owners of the F2512s. The things that he goes over regarding the bridge may be of interest to those having issues with the baritone Guilds (BT258?), specifically the bridge glue used and the finish under the bridge.

    From the "All Spruce Guitar thread a ways back", a reference point

    A while back, there was a thread about getting creative with a guitar build. The original thought was an all spruce guitar, with curved sides, and a bunch of other, untried/uncommon guitar principles. I posted that there were already all spruce guitars in the past, and some made more recently by...

    Oops, they did it again

    From the on-going story of my luthier buddy, comes chapter 2. This is not my guitar, it is one that was brought in for a range of work. As part of everything that goes through his shop, this rather nice D30 was checked over in a general sense. Pictures below: So this is a nice D30 from...

    Youtube guitar repair video with Guild content

    I thought this may be of interest to the members of the message board. This guy does a repair video about once a week. This week, he did some work on a D-35. His preamble before getting to work is also interesting. The video is here: I find the entire video of interest, but the Guild...

    About 8-10 years ago, I bought a fairly beat up Guild F-50R on eBay. The seller was quite straightforward regarding condition, so I knew what I was getting into, but couldn't resist. It looked like this (disregard the green tape markers): The damaged area, close up looks like this...

    When did D50s/D55s start using Adirondack tops?

    Hi, I would like to know when (not month, just year) Adirondack tops started to be used in D50s/D55s. Were they always in use at Tacoma, phased in later during the Tacoma run, or is it just the Connecticut ones that will use it? Kostas

    Questions on an earlier D-25BR

    Hi, I recently bought a Guild D-25BR from eBay, as a project (the eBay listing revealed the damage, no issue with that, or the seller). Guitar needs a lot of work (bridge is cracked through the pin holes, needs a neck reset, bad side crack needs to be undone then repaired properly, and one of...

    DV-52 NT: Is the matte finish Nitro lacquer, or poly?

    Hi, I'm new here, just got the email confirming my registration, and I have a question regarding the finish on my 1993 DV-52 NT (serial number EK10XXXX). It has a matte finish, and as it was bought used, it needs a little bit of TLC in terms of a setup (pretty standard for a used guitar), and...
