Just beautiful and love the color on Starfire.

Gorgeous! What a great picture. I’m with Stuball… the Starfire top is yummy. I’d love to see a little more.

Welcome to LTG! Those are awesome, and all well kept, are you the original owner? I third that on the Starfire, great looking piece

Way to make an entrance, Mike!! Welcome and thanks for sharing. They're all beautiful, but I have to say I'm a bit taken by the Starfire, as well!!

 

[GGJaguar]

Welcome to LTG! That's a terrific trio!! Thanks for sharing and feel free to tell us more about them.

And I think I recognize your name from one of the Gibson forums or amp forums. My memory isn't what it used to be.

Thanks for the comments. I am not the original owner of any of these Guilds. A late 60's Guild Capri was my first electric guitar, which I traded for other instruments in the 70's when I was in a rock band -- those big hollowbodies feed back! But always thought about that guitar and so started collecting these a few years ago.

Will take a few more photos. The DE-500 also has a beautiful back.

Welcome to the forum, Mike! I particularly love the T-100D and the Starfire. A beautiful set of Guilds!

It looks like you also have a tasty amp collection. Is that a Matchless Chieftain in the background?

Yes, a 2 x 10 Chieftain, mid-1990’s Mark Sampson era.

Wow! When Matchless first emerged, I played through both a Chieftain and a C-30 and was absolutely floored. Or maybe it was a Lightning? I'm not sure. Unfortunately, I was a poor struggling musician at the time and had absolutely no extra cash to buy either one. Still kicking myself.
