Steve, who's Darren? And what's an X180?

Darren volunteered to have the Franz pick-ups in his vintage X-150 measured for the creation of the Duncan "Franz" pick-ups that are in the GSR T-500.Walter Broes said:Steve, who's Darren? And what's an X180?
Indeed, we don't really know what's going to make it on the electric front. I'm hoping for a bit of a bumper crop (more even that what we saw this year)... But, don't forget, on the acoustic front we *were* exposed to the 60th anniv Koa F-30 which is definitely coming. That is really a looker!guildman63 said:Being that next year is when Guild is honoring their 60th anniversary there will be something coming out to honor that, they just would not tell us what. A nice Aristocrat would be pretty sweet, IMHO.
Well we were informed that all the electric GSR's are a result from a project started years ago in Tacoma. All the bodies had already been built so that's the models they were stuck with. They then just completed the guitars with necks, electronics and finishing.Walter Broes said:Thanks for the clarification guys! Hmm....of all the models they could bring back, they pick the (very) short-lived X180? Could it be that Guild headquarters could do with a copy of "the Book of Moust" on every desk for inspiration?

Well, a Koa F-30 is fine and Dandy, but I for one would rather see guitars that have more "Guild identity" in a historic perspective than Taylor-esque variations on existing Guild models. Plenty of cool guitars from Guild's back catalog to pick from, I'd say.Chazmo said:Indeed, we don't really know what's going to make it on the electric front.

Well, I hope you get your wish, Walter. All I can say, as I *did* say at the LMGIII event, is that LTGers have done their part by consuming a good percentage of these 'leccies!!! As they say, put up or shut up... I think we put up!Walter Broes said:Well, a Koa F-30 is fine and Dandy, but I for one would rather see guitars that have more "Guild identity" in a historic perspective than Taylor-esque variations on existing Guild models.

Thanks again for the explanation guys, that makes sense then, about the completed bodies.
