No Go - sorry - need better explanation . . .

That "Little Earth" is where I link in first place - do I have to change the name somewhere else first ? Or wte ?

I do it manually now:
Copy the Url and paste in the posting box like you did, then type " " at the end of the url and right in front of the word you want to be a link.
Then type "
" after that word.
Oh this is funny, it's highlighting my explanation like I was creating a hyperlink.
Hit the "reply with quote" button to get the actual visible instructions, I think you'll see how it works.

Those magazine covers made me spit out my milk (I'm a geezer)! I've never seen that before - hilarious!

I’m wondering why they haven’t approached me about a cover feature.
My column: Key of ‘C’ good enough for me!

Hey it's not my guitar!
At least I don't try to pull the old "compensate with an expensive sports car" routine.
Nope, I'll take my good ol' reliable over a Porsche any day:

Only 3 rosewood F-body models with a paddle headstock meet those specs that I know of, the venerable F50R, or its alter ego the JF55...and the rare mid-70's (ca '75-'78) F30r, literally an F30r with an F50 neck:
GUILD-F-30R-NT-Acoustic-Guitar.jpg


Antsy's guitar looks a little small in the first pic which made me wonder at first, but the second (under his arm) looks sized right to be an F50R/JF55, so that's what I'm going with.
Absence of abalone rosette (found only on later JF55's starting '94 (?) approx. and which also appear to have had predominantly black 'guards) strengthens the case for the F50R..

Well - let's see . . .

I know that things get picky, when there's one too many or few spaces or other bits.


Still no go - oh what the heck - I'll keep my own ways

Somebody had wayyy to much time on their hands.

Impressive block diagram, though!

You can add the GF-55 to that list.

Well I'll be darned, thought those were the same as the GF60R.
Good catch!
But while trying to see if this could be the model Antsy has, on inspection, every GF-55 I can find in Google images has a tortoise 'guard, which seemed to be the standard from '89-'92 (and maybe a couple of years on either side like the JF55's), also, they appear to have a different rosette:
The F50's got a more complicated pattern in the center ring, making 'em look like there's a thick black ring in the center ring, the GF-55's I can find have a w/b/W/b/w pattern in the center ring, as in this example:
guild-gf-55n-very-good-hard-QIHsNxR.jpg

Interesting listing there, too, man seems to know his stuff, mentions only 166 of 'em built, and that they did intentionally use the paddle headstock and v-blocks in accordance with the "55" series necks.
So I still think Antsey's guitar is an F50, but again, great catch!!

Just to clarify......

For those who are not familiar with the GF-55, it has a 16" lower bout.
