Guild sighting - Dave Loggins

[walrus]

Did not find this clip already posted with an LTG search. This is a nice 70's song from Dave Loggins, "Please Come to Boston". He sure does play his Guild sweetly...

Nice clip Walrus. I haven't heard that in a long time.

Pretty Guild, I like the double black pick guard. F50-R?

I forgot all about that song, and it certainly did play a lot in 1974. I would have never guessed that it was played on a Guild F50r guitar. What a great sound.

GREAT song!! Lots of memories there. Take off the second pickguard and you'd have a really nice guitar..... hate the double pickguards. Why would anyone do that unless you're Ritchie Havens? Oh well..... to each his own. :wink:

 

[The Guilds of Grot]

Well since he's a lefty, maybe it's a righty guitar that he added a second pickguard to and he couldn't take off the original one since it's under the finish?

 

[walrus]

That's an interesting point - a variation on that theory is he was having trouble finding a lefty guitar he liked, and the double pickguard model works just as well. Or he simply liked this one, and the double pickguard worked for him.

But I agree that it certainly may be because he is a lefty.

Good point!! The guitar looks the same upside down and backwards!! Didn't even consider that angle.....

8) Beautiful song. I haven't heard that one in far too long. Great radio memories with it to. Thanks for the reminder. :wink:
I might try working on that one myself.

I love that song and have covered it at every solo gig. It was a huge hit for Davey.

Interesting background:

The guy putting in then fills is really good too.
