A Tale of Two Guilds: F50R & F212XL

[ac1dt3st]

went over to my dad's today for our oft-observed Sunday afternoon festivities.

this week: two very nice Guilds, and two very nice bottles of Scotch.

i decided that we should do a side-by-side shot. (for the scotch *and* the guitars.)

Looks like the acorn didn't fall very far from the tree there.
Nice looking guitars.
Bet they make wonderful music together.

I'm impressed that you've spent so much on Guitars that you cant afford shoes. Nice to see you've got the priorities right !!

What a wonderful legacy! Wish my dad was still here to enjoy it, he didn't play but he enjoyed my playing

My feelings exactly. My Dad could listen to the blues all day and always asked for more. He loved spirituals/gospels, even though he wasn't what you'd call religious....he just liked the music.
He was always an appreciative audience, and never critical.

I'd like to play a few tunes for him right now, but....
