Hi Friends, About every 6 months or so I take all my Guilds and line them up in this way in my living room for a photo session. Just simply a fun thing to do to see exactly how my collection is ever changing. In fact it has changed since I took this photo only a week ago. What I love about this photo is the custom color starfires lined up on the sofa. The Amberstar will be added in just a few short days to complete my custom color SF collection. But I also had to sell the 1965 Starfire V and the 1972 Carved S100 at the bottom right of this photo to procure the Amberstar. Once the Amberstar arrives, I will really have nothing else to trade or sell as the rest of the Guilds here are all keepers. Models I set my mind out to find. But as usual I will always be adding more in time. I do this just for fun, so please take it that way. Although a part of me just wants to show off a bit. 
All these guitars are from the Hoboken era of Guild's history. After owning more than 70 Guild guitars I have found that, in my opinion only, the guitars made during this time period are of the highest quality standards. I love the parts used, pickups, hardware and general appearance is just more to my liking. But the tone these instruments will make is, well... music to my ears. At the bottom will be a list of the guitars shown in the photo. Thanks for looking guys and gals.
Top row, left to right - 1961 X175B with factory bigsby, (Thanks Ziz) 1959 X550, 1959 T100DP, 1961 X350. All these guitars have franz pickups.
Middle row - 1963 Starfire III, 1962 Emeraldfire III, 1962 Blackstar III. All Starfire IIIs have Dearmond pups as does the Amberstar which is on it's way.
Bottom Row - 1960 X50, (one of my favorite guitars to play), 1957 M75 Aristocrat, 1972 S100SC carved top, and last but not least the 1965 Starfire V.
As I said this collection is ever changing and that the last two guitars shown have been sold to buy the Amberstar. Yes, that is me in the mirror taking the photo. Thanks for looking. MB
