House Where......

[Dr Izza Plumber]

All Guilds look like Guilds, and Taylors look like Taylors.
No more mix 'n match pickguards.

Lovely family portrait, Doc. The kids are all at attention and wearing their Saturday best. :wink:

**Did your GADs come with those pickguards?

Sweet,

Negatory, on that. :wink:

Curiosity satisfied.
Whoever did the work, they look great!

Great looking guitars and I bet they all are beggin' to be played. The regular Guild pickguards really improve the GAD. Were the pickguards easy to find? (I really need to treat my GAD to a new pickguard.) joan

Thank You!
That would be moi.
I bought a tortoise for the JF30-12, but after looking at all the gits with tortoise guards, I decided to leave the black pickguard on the JF.
Kind of makes it standout from the crowd.

They were around 16 bucks each.
If You'd like to install them without any trimming, buy the Jumbo guards, because they fit better.
I only ordered 1 Jumbo (and didn't use it yet), and had some trimming to do on the D4 guards.

Just checked Guitar Parts; I'll be ordering one soon but I'm not sure which one (D4 or Jumbo) will fit best on my GAD 30R. Maybe I'll call them or email them and see if I can get measurements so I know the difference. (I guess I could also measure the pickguard on my D55 and see if that gives me an idea.) Was it hard to remove the old pickguard? Joan

Yowzaaaa :!: :!:

Fabulous pic. Thanks for sharing.

And tell me now, please, about those little green "socks" you put on your stands, high and low.

Thanks for the Saturday clinic, :wink:

I use a hairdryer to heat the plastic, then peel, then heat, then peel. After that I use WD40 and soft tissues, followed by alcohol and soft tissues. Use some masking tape to act as hinges to guide installation of the new pick guards.

The pickguards are the same size width and length, except the opening for the rosette is slightly larger on the Jumbo guard. The D4 will work on anything, but You may have to carefully trim the opening with a sharp shears.

Hope this helps! :wink:

My wife sewed up some green felt (tubular) to use as coverings for the rubber cushions on the guitar stands. Those rubber/plastic, whatever, cushions have a habit of eating into the guitar's neck finish, so I keep my gits protected.

What a nice family grouping. Very impressive.

How would you compare the Guild 12ers with the Taylor 12er? Inquiring minds want to know... 8)

[devellis]

Those Guilds are handsome guitars. (The Taylors aren't too shabby, either.)

 

[Dr Izza Plumber]

MY JF30-12 is an entry level Jumbo with great maple tone, plus it's big and very loud.
However the Taylor 855ce is a premium guitar built using top shelf materials, so tone wise, I'd give it the edge over My Guild 12's.
It's entirely possible that an F512 or F612 custom or JF55-12 could best the Taylor 855. Gits all have their own unique personality,
and I love all of them, including the GADs.

That part is obvious. A little guitar TLC goes a long way!!

I understand. It's hard to do an A-B comparison when they are so different.

Kind of like kids. You love 'em all, for their individual qualities.
