Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? "Mrs. Robinson" #1 song 46 years ago today

Sunday Morning on CBS had a brief feature on the song and movie this morning. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/almanac-mrs-robinson/
The pictures of Paul Simon with his Guild never showed the headstock, but the trc was evident. Got me to thinking about how many big artists played Guilds earlier in their career and then moved on to other guitar brands. Seems Richie was the only one who played Guild throughout his career. Any thoughts on why Guild brand loyalty wasn't as strong as performers and other brands? When Al Dronge died did the relationship with artists of the 60's for Guild end too?

AFAIK, Bonnie Raitt is still playing her double pick guard F-50R )(pic was too big when embedded, so just a link)...

Was doing a search for a pic, and also turned up this link that includes BR playing what appears to be a D-80 or D-100.

I'd add Barry Gibb to the list of artists who have been loyal to Guild throughout their careers.

Perhaps they just play them without endorsement money. The money may be the only reason some performers play certain brands.
