Is it just me, or are there a disproportionate number of geeks who use Guilds for these strange experiments? :roll:

Looks like an old dentist chair or something....
It's sad but I think you can put a RIP sign on that D25, it won't make it back from the the many tortures it received I'm afraid. :(

A pox upon their house.................and maybe a plague of locusts,too :shock:

What have they done to the bridge?

Is that supposed to be an improvement or a fix?

With all the cracks on the top (as described) it probably couldn't withstand any tension from the strings at the bridge any longer.
Long story short: It's destroyed.

I think you are exactly right in your analysis, bluespicky.

But Nigel, you must admit, that is one lovely chair! Or is that the guitar stand? :wink:

Do you think they'll throw in the car to sweeten the deal?

Kilroy, you do have an eye for the chairs....... :lol: :lol:

I do like a good chair, but that one didn't really do it for me. I think its new role as a stand for that poor D25 is more appropriate. They do make for a sad team.

Still curious about the car, though! :lol:

I can't help hoping that maybe they jumped the gun on the "repair" and it's really not as bad as it looks.$150 is a little intriquing .

And someone will buy it and then proceed to write a review somewhere saying, "Don't know why those Guild folks are so proud... 'cause the one I have really sucks!"

The trapeze trick I've seen used before when the top on a guitar started to raise up. Not the bridge, but the top itself. Put the trapeze on it and it starts to push the top back down or at least stops further raising.

Obviously, that one was owned by Red Green. :lol:
Red would have used more duct tape, methinks. :lol:
Love Red Green....need I say more?

Right. It's actually Tommy Chong's old axe. Can't you tell by the lowrider in the background? Case is missing 'cause it was confiscated in an airport when it set off the dogs (you know, that "how do I get this smell out of my case?" syndrome) . And yes, "This guitar has really been USED!" Truer words I've rarely read. :lol: :lol: :lol:
