Okay folks - I just ordered a set of each of the strings that you recommended from Musicians Friend. I appreciate the suggestions & will let you know my impressions! Thanks again. Have a great weekend everyone!
That's fantastic, Rev! Good to see you over from the Gibson site. It's all one internet. I got a New Hartford-built F212 recently that was (and is) dead mint like that. It still had the plastic on the pickguard! You've got a beauty dread there! Next you've got to try a jumbo or a jumbo 12. :tiger:
Congrats and welcome! That's a seriously great find!
Now for a bit of advice: never mention strings here again. Strange things happen when strings get mentioned. Example: http://letstalkguild.com/ltg/showthread.php?195557-The-Absolutely-Positively-Last-String-Thread
:emmersed: (Very few of us are quite right)
If you really want to enjoy it to it’s fullest, take it to a qualified tech/ luthier and have the nut and saddle replaced with hand-cut, high-quality bone, and use the D’Addario light strings! It’s not expensive, but it will be the best investment you can make for playing pleasure!
I may at some point. I need to mention that I own over 70 guitars. Tweaking this one may take awhile to get to :smile-new:

Oooooo I’d like to see that list and what’s your address ? Lol
LOL - you'll have to get in a very long line :smile-new: I've been at this for a very long time. What has surprised me on the forums I frequent is that my collection is but a mere pittance to many others I've seen. Those guys make me feel like I'm normal. :highly_amused:
My wife and I recently dined with a retired couple from AZ. She was a member of the Arizona Banjo Blasters, some of whom have sizeable instrument collections— a malady which her husband called “BAD,” for Banjo Acquisition Disease.
Now I’m wondering if “GAD” has a hidden meaning.
Good Lord. :biggrin-new:
I also saw that DrumBob posts here. I like that guy!

Oh, it's so true. Everything is relative with regard to acquisition mania. Around here, everyone gets "enabled" at one time or another.
Ray, seriously, it's all relative. And, it's not really about money, at least not to most of us and definitely not to the folks that I've spoken to with large collections.
The bottom line is that we're all blessed here with ANY Guilds in the stable. That's my $0.02 (very cheap) and I'm stickin' with it!
First hit when you Google GAD: https://adaa.org/understanding-anxiety/generalized-anxiety-disorder-gad
I can neither confirm nor deny that the disorder was named for me.
