OK, so mostly belated, but still.
Ruined the surprise with this one with the G1000 pic, but Grot sold me this cool Guild GX. My daughter really digs it:
A couple of weeks ago I made a sweet deal with MLBob for these two guitars. He got my D46 and I got this Songbird. Possibly the first actual trade I've ever done and we were both thrilled! My daughter likes this one even better. It's got a better sound than the GX but the GX is fun in a wild way.
In addition to the trade with MLBob, I also bought this killer burst JF30-12. It's seen some stuff and it's got a Bridge Doctor, but the price was too good to pass up and I needed a 12-string. Also that burst makes me tingly. I used to have a JF65-12 but I don't think I remember how enormous these guitars are. Jumbo indeed!
And now for the grand finale, I got this on Friday. I probably paid too much, but it's a 2001 Westerly D55. I've always wanted a D55 and never seemed to get one. Well, now I've got one:
Why the D55 all of a sudden? Blame the NJ LMG. With all the love and exhibition of New Hartford Guilds, it raised my interest in getting one to try out (aside from my R30 Resonator). So I found one for a good price and bought it. Then I decided that I needed a Westerly to compare it to and bought this. This arrived first and I fear that the NH D55 has been sitting on a UPS truck all 100-degree weekend, but I'll know more about that one tomorrow.
Also I hate all the pictures and will likely reshoot, but since the review logjam is now immeasurably deep, who knows when those pictures will surface.
