This has probably been discussed before. What are the technical differences between the D 30 and the G 37?
D30man... gawd... LOVE that burst... WOWEEEEEE!
So... you play it right into the giant fan / swamp cooler for some really weird
acoustic special effects... right?:biggrin-new:
Acoustic feed back!!!!!! Yeah I have to get them to move that damn thing every time I play there but they do.
Hey, D-Man, what is the venue, if you don't mind disclosing? And your schedule?
The earlier "pre-snake" headstock has always looked better to me...
Got more genuine Guilditude, or something...
A buddy owns a '74 and his is the same.The G37 is a bit of a sonic puzzle to play - also not a volume box, but
I'd describe the mid and low-range sustain as preternatural - think piano with the sustain pedal
permanently floored - but I haven't quite figured out how to use / leverage that to best effect.
Have not yet played another G37 to compare, but might get around to doing exactly that
as early as tomorrow...
Kinda surprised nobody's mentioned that D30's (all of 'em, I think) had 3-pc necks ('hog centerstrip I think it is, that was the norm)This has probably been discussed before. What are the technical differences between the D 30 and the G 37?
Also went to the snakehead in the 90's ( not sure which year ).
Right.Snakeheads came to many of the Guild dreads ~1987. IIRC, it was a Gruhn "thing."
We calls 'em "paddles" 'round heah, boy! :glee:The earlier "pre-snake" headstock has always looked better to me...

Al, at least some G37s did come with a 3-piece, same as the D30s...
from the beauty on Reverb, it's a '79 according to the seller...
My buddy's '74 has the dark back/sides.Very cool info Al!
Was thinking of the variations of color
I've observed on both guitars. The back and sides
of a G37 could be natural or deeply tinted, or the entire guitar could be finished burst, but
the burst finish on my G37 does not have anything close to the intense coloration
of D30Man's kick-a** foot stompin' swamp-cooler killing retina-shocking wonder
(yeah, I'm jealous)
'01 price list shows black, and suspect that "dark cherry" was actually Trans Red but don't recall ever seeing a shot of one that color. Seem to recall Amber also, but can't confirm.D30 finishes... entire guitar natural, burst, orange, have also seen one example that
was dark cherry... any others?
