NGD - DS 240

[Okko]

Rusty Chops,
Again, I'm new to the world of Guild guitars and have but one, a GAD jf 30, so I'm not particularly knowledgeable about their various models.
However, your new guitar looks very nice, and based on your comments, it rivals the j-45 series that it physically mimics in sound quality.
However, that resemblence to the Gibsons, right down to the use of the script logo and the open-book shaped headstock instead of the more standard Guild logo-style and headstock shape bothers me a little. Its as if Guild, for this particular guitar wanted to issue a Gibson "wannabe" product, rather than proudly making a slope-shoulder spruce-mahogony dreadnought that is distinctly Guild.
Just my reaction to what I see in the photos.

I’am relatively new too and amazed how much our LTG fellows know about Guild! It helps me a lot understanding the brand. And you know, the good thing is… all the people are extremely friendly…. Even if you are Hans’d or Ralph’d! BTW I bought a very worn JF 30-12 last week…. And i mailed Hans to give me some information…. Got it right away …. Thanks to the website… the sound is beautiful and of course I paid too much for her…. But the sound is great! welll, that’s all… (did my best not showing my feet BGUF)

I love it when there is evidence that other people read more than one area on LTG and there is crosspollination. This is a deliberate homage to BGUF, right?

To be "Ralph’d", now that would be something to behold. That would be the wurst "case" scenario.

Of course!
Also to show off my pedicure.
My girlfriend and I got the full treatment yesterday.

BGBF!
