This is an open call for enablement. I've just spent the entire beginning of summer stuck in Alaska. And now I'm going to get some time off and I have a little extra money to spend to boot.
It's time to buy a nice Guild "Box".
But I'm in a little over my head. I don't know what a good deal is vs. what a bad deal is and it turns out, I've missed out on a couple amazing ones because I'm just too gun shy.
So here are my parameters:
1) Cutaway is a must
2) prefer two pickups, preferably 60's or 70's/80's HB1's, Dearmond Dynasonic single coils are OK, too.
3) please no blondes - Sunbursts are OK (but a little boring), exotic/unusual colors are very welcome.
4) tremolo not necessary.
5) florentine cutaways are cool looking, but not necessary.
6) budget of $2000 to $2500
So I've always dreamed of getting a Starfire 2 with mini HB1's, but man those seem to be impossible to come by. I've been hunting for a CE-100-D that isn't blond, and yep, those are hard to come by, too. I've passed twice on X-500's from the late 70's and early 80's that I now know I should have bought the moment I saw them.
Anyone have any suggestions? Anyone have a guitar in mind (or even for sale) that might fill my needs?
Thanks in advance,
Kent
