Does anyone have anything less than good/great to say about Oxnard's D-40s? I've been duly impressed by all the positive feedback I keep hearing about these guitars from our members! And, it seems to me, that's the model that a vast majority of our Oxnard owners have bought. Personally, I...

I'm very excited. I was finally able to get an order completed from guildguitars.com --> shop.guildguitars.com to buy the remaining 2 coasters (3 bucks ea.) that they had in inventory as part of "merch." As far as I know, only @Christopher Cozad was able to get this done recently, but now it...

I opened the windows in my guitar room today as the temp is mid-70s, and... oh my... my hygrometer is measuring about 30% RH !! My humidifier was not up to it. It's super dry outside (obviously). I love to welcome spring when it comes, but I've closed the windows in that part of the house...

I'm purging. Heavily used. Nothing minty about them. Might need neck resets. :) Free if you pay postage. 1982 handbook from DEC. LISP programming manual. Motorola MC68K pocket reference.

Hi folks, Wondering if anyone has installed / tried the recently-introduced L. R. Baggs system. This has bridge plate attachments (rather than under-saddle or soundhole magnetic). It looks and sounds pretty neat (at least from the demo). The electronics are enclosed in the endpin jack...

I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. Attached is a picture of "The Tank." A case for a trumpet that is virtually indestructible. Even the latches are so heavy duty that it just can't open unprovoked. :) Inside this case is an irreplaceable Mt. Vernon Bach trumpet (which is...

Guys, I need some help. Has anyone tuned a bosun's pipe? I need to play this thing in a band concert in a few weeks, and I can barely make it whistle. It's "supposed" to only require a light breath to work, but not so. My band director bought one of these off eBay and it needs (a lot of?)...

This seems to have been really under the radar and low key, but yesterday a private US company (Intuitive Machines) landed an unmanned set of equipment on the moon. If you haven't already read about this, It's our (US's) first time back on the moon's surface since Apollo! And, the real...

Guys, we were discussing a bridge separation in the thread below and I decided to start a new thread... IMO, we need an answer to this before further discussion of what's going on here with the Asian-made acoustics, and whether it's "acceptable" or not. Well, let's just say I need to know, at...

Hi gang, I don't have the bible available, and perhaps this happened after 1977.... And, I don't know if we've discussed this before.... But, was there a switchover time from when F-40s went from being arched maple backs to solid mahogany? Are/were those the only two variations? Oh, and we...

I had an interesting conversation this morning and thought I'd post a thread on the subject... One of our users was offered about $5K (in modern $) back in the 1980s for a G-37 that he didn't sell. Now, that's loyalty! Looking at your collection today, which Guild(s) wouldn't you part with...

I'm so jazzed about this purchase. I've been waiting years for the right kind of fat-tire bike (4" wide, 26" mountain tires) to come along for me. I have a wonderful (unassisted) MTB that I've used for many years. But, for New England weather, like what we've been experiencing for the last...

I know you guys want to show off your guitar-related presents that you got (or gave) over the holiday. Let's see 'em!!!! (I don't do gifts over the holidays, but I bought a bunch of sunglasses for myself, shown in another thread...)

I only have one thing to say to you...

This isn't exactly a collection... More of a let's support a fantastic local manufacturing business. Sounds familiar, right? :) :) I've loved Randolph Engineering's sunglasses and sporting eyewear for years. I am very good about taking care of my shades, and I've amassed something of a...

Don't know if any of you are like me, but I like to cycle through my guitars over time. So, thought I'd share... And please contribute... Putting away my F-50 Standard ... and taking out my Taylor 655...

Yup! Hope everyone's enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend. This pic is from last year, but I'm not sure if I shared it. Talk about being thankful...

Just curious what you guys think... I'm seeing the prices of TVs fall into crazy low territory. Best Buy just sent me mail that they have three LG TVs for under $200, a 24", 27", and 32"... That's just nuts. LGs are great too! And, these are LED TVs too! What's driving this given that...

It just never ends with Guild's model naming nonsense. Here's a Newark St. model described as "Guild Limited Run (GLR)." C'mon guys. I guess they weren't comfortable using a strictly-USA-built model description (GSR). But wait, when has that ever stopped them...

I just thought I'd share this with everyone. After over 60 years, my home's oil boiler had to be replaced. I mean, seriously, that's built to last. I didn't want to do it, but it was time. The old boiler was about four times the size of what you're going to see. It was an Arcoleader with...
