Recently received a lovely little New Hartford-built instrument: 2010 GSR-F30 . . . I'll post pics in a separate thread when I have more free time (swamped with work right now).
How many guys own New Hartford build Guitars?????

What's wrong with owning a Porsche and a Guild?? :?:

Agreed, it IS harder, and more tightly grained. I think that's part of the "feel". AND that extra hardness has a little extra effect on tone in my opinion, and I suspect that's why it's pretty standard on the higher end Guilds. Or maybe it's just 'cause it'll help the neck stay straighter. Or both.twocorgis said:I think more than the appearance, it's the feel of Ebony that I like better. It feels noticeably harder to me, which makes for more confident fingering, for me at least.
Hey, I just read that last sentence, and it could have been lifted from Penthouse Forum.:lol:
We'll just let you completely off the hook on that other matter.

Nothing really wrong with owning a Porsche, especially a nice vintage handler like yours, but you'll never able to say it's a WESTERLY Porsche! :lol:slow944s said:

As a former Porsche mechanic- 17 years -'72 to 89, I was hoping all of those had gone to the crusher....but( add guitar content) I wouldn't crush it if there was a Guild inside :roll:

Liked the styling, understand they were wicked handlers ( I'll take handling over raw horsepower any day)...but never had the experience of LIVING with one....I was a confirmed first generation RX-7 man for almost 20 years. THOSE are bullet-proof when they're stock. In fact, after 5 years of dominating their IMSA class, Porsche and Datsun told IMSA "if you don't give them RX-7's a weight penalty we're gonna take our toys (260/280z's and, ahem, 944's) and go home".... So the weight penalty was added, Mazda added turbocharging, and dominated AGAIN for 4 more years............ :lol: But them turbocharged cars on the street just weren't as much fun or as reliable as the simple little first gen cars.....
