thanks, Retro.....I'll always take a look at a New Hartford traditional when they're in excellent shape and around $1100.....even for that price I still can't "add" another guitar, so I'm comparing it to my Taylor 2013 516e FLTD as far as being my #2 guitar to go with my #1, the 2014 F50R.....played all three again today for several hours.....really a tough choice for #2.....the advantages the F47R has over the Taylor are most of the same advantages the F50R has ....didn't notice that as much until I played the F50R a lot today...so in that way, the Guilds are similar, and kind of fill the same role.....at the same time, the Taylor brings its own thing to the game, and it has some benefits for me that neither Guild gives me.....at first I thought it would be automatic, sell the Taylor and keep both Guilds, but the more I play all three, I find myself thinking the Taylor, for all the ways it fits my playing needs and compliments the F50R, could hold on to that #2 spot that it has held for a long time.....to be continued.....
