Hey Marc,

You've been playing that D25 a lot of years.....you ever had her refretted?

West

dreadnut · Dec 31, 2007

In fact, I did. It's been about 8 years since the re-fret, there were worn down spots in the frets where all the John Prine songs are

Can't remember this falla's name, but I've heard him and he's a great Guild artist... 8)

Just like the late great George Formby sang:

"I'm leaning on a lampost at the corner of the street, in case a certain little lady comes by...." :mrgreen:

(She's on the previous page - in front of the CNN tower :!: )

The 2006 dealer lit has a pretty short list as well:
James, McMurty, Erik Mongrain, The Resentments, Verlon Thompson, Shawn Camp, Don Henry, Hank III, Danny Flowers, Doc Watson, George Strait, Big Kenny (Big and Rich), Richie Havens, Cassandra Wilson, and Willy Porter. In reality though, the instruments need no spokesmen...

I agree, and these are all current Guild users. Hrm... that makes you wonder how Martin, Gibson, Taylor and what-have-you managed to win some of these guitarists over... Offering them signature models? Could be just a change of taste, though.

Different tools for different trades I suppose.

Possible, but take for instance the advertisement name Paul Simon that's now in cohox with that Pensylvanian manufacturer and I don't know which signature guit in order he has with them now.

On the last picture, is that a 16 or 17 inch upper bout? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Not sure of the exact measurement, could be a custom shop one off. :wink:

Nah, I'm pretty sure there are two there, Graham. :shock:

Hi Jerry; was Formby the original artist? I thought Peter Noone / 'ermans 'ermits recorded (covered?) this in the 60s? My wife and I went to a Moldie Oldies show w/ the 'ermits opening for Flo and Eddie and the 'ermits did this tune... cj.

George Formby was a Brit ukelele player, very popular pre World War 2 - and appeared on several movies, bit before Pete Noon was even a twinkle in his father's eye so I think he was the original performer, even if he didn't actually write it. Also did things like 'when I'm cleaning windows' - bit risqué at the time :mrgreen:

So be it! Thank you Jerry. cj

I'll say. A guy cleaning windows? :shock:

Wasn't that one of the deciding factors in allowing women to drive, so they could get from menial task to menial task without disturbing us? :wink:

Not even a Guild artist can be all they can be without support! The women behind the men of LTG.

West

Darryl Hattenhauer · Jan 3, 2008

Dan Hicks, Johnny Cash, Charlie Byrd, Eva Cassidy, Glen Campbell, Duane Eddy, Kinky Friedman, Buddy Guy, Mississippi John Hirt, Son Seals, Mike Townsend, Slash, Merle Travis, Dave Van Ronk, Muddy Waters.

But I've often wondered why Dylan has played everything but Guild.

Suppose you put on a blindfold, would you recognise your wife?

Seriously, for someone who don't even have a clear picture of what you lot look like, who sings his lovesongs to who in this picture?
