Was wondering if anybody else noticed this. Seems like a no brainer for a Westerly Collection.
That IS the original F30 bridge shape (or as close as they're gonna get, at least, if that's what you meant), which the OM240 is derived from.Too bad they went away from Guild's traditional bridge shape on this one.
Obviously not a big deal, but it would have been a nice touch.
Today’s Stupid Deal of the day is a Guild OM-240CE for $289. I don’t the comparable US model; I lost my Córdoba to Guild model number conversion chart, but ITs a “mid-sized orchestra-shaped acoustic"
I'm guessing it's the F40
I think the "charcoal burst" is ugly as sin. It looks like they held the top over a candle and moved it around to get that effect.

Maybe they just didn't hold it over the candle long enough?
...and how long would that be 10"?

True enough, Al. I guess in my mind's eye, everything Guild begins with the '70s when I first bought them - so the two point is just stuck in my head as "original." Additionally, I've always thought it's one of most aesthetically pleasing bridge shapes out there!That IS the original F30 bridge shape (or as close as they're gonna get, at least, if that's what you meant), which the OM240 is derived from.
I think they got the "points" bridges around '69 or '70, going by google image searches.

I agree. I prefer it.True enough, Al. I guess in my mind's eye, everything Guild begins with the '70s when I first bought them - so the two point is just stuck in my head as "original." Additionally, I've always thought it's one of most aesthetically pleasing bridge shapes out there!
"Huh".Case sold seperately.
Just saw her play a few Guild at The Outlaw Music Fest.I agree. I prefer it.
Interestingly enough Bonnie Raitt has an F30 bridge on one of her F50's!
"Huh".
Always a "gotcha".
Yup, at least 2 F50's, the other one I know about has the "tuxedo" double 'guards but a regular F50 bridge, and at least one D-100:Just saw her play a few Guild at The Outlaw Music Fest.
