Full Review of my 1997 Red Bluesbird

[GAD]

I decided to do a more complete write-up of my Bluesbird. You can check it out here:

I think I'm going to do similar write-ups for all my Guilds. There needs to be more Guild reviews online.

GAD, that is an outstanding article! Kudos! Love the sound clips, too!

My Bluesbird did not come with a pickguard (fine with me!), and I replaced the clear plastic knobs with gold bell knobs. Mine is a cherry sunburst AAA, so the knobs look great. Like you, I find the pickups sound great as is, and I have no complaints about the neck width. I paid slightly more than you did for mine, which I considered an excellent deal.

Once again, thanks for that review, I enjoyed it!

BTW, I have a "collection" of Bluesbird advertisements, information, etc. I assume it is OK with you if I print this out?

Thanks! Of course you can print it out. Not that I could stop you either way. :wink-new: Seriously, I'd be honored if you added it to your collection.

I love how GAD is a perfectionist
You rock

Thanks, Steve!

Being a perfectionist has its benefits. And its drawbacks. :culpability:

Thanks for a great review. Some interesting facts about that era of Bluesbird (I wonder if the new NS 'Bird also has routes thAt will fit HB-1's?).
