Hi all, Was it typical for some of the NH models to be shipped from the factory with low saddles and/or action? I feel like I've read this somewhere before, but I'm not certain. Photos below of the 2012 D-40 BJ I recently picked up. You can see how the saddle is on the low side - especially...

Looking into this early Mark V. Wondering if it might be Brazilian rosewood on the back and sides. Assuming yes, but hard to tell from the photo below.

Found this gem for sale locally. I just bought a new 12 string earlier this year (non-Guild) but this beauty was just too good to pass up. Met up with the original owner's son, who said his dad gave up playing a while back, so it sat for many years with the strings detuned until his son restrung...

Picked up an '83 G212 recently. It's got the same tuners as my '81 D25. These tuners with the Guild sticker logo were quite common during this period, but I've never been sure about the make. I've seen references to these being Ping tuners, but those examples look slightly different, with the...

Selling a 2003 Tacoma DM9. This is an all-solid wood mahogany dreadnaught made in the U.S. Tone is warm and resonant with excellent volume. Condition is excellent - some minor dings in the satin finish, but overall very nice shape. Action is medium with plenty of saddle left to adjust. Comes...

Hi Folks, I am in the process of picking up an F30 for sale locally. This was originally listed for $75, believe it or not, and the seller was open to offers. Someone initially offered $150 and I pushed it to $200 because it needs some work. After sending payment, the seller contacted me in a...

Hello, all: I have a question regarding the top wood on my Mark III. I believe it's a 1980 model, and it's my understanding that the top wood changed on this model from cedar to spruce right around this time. Can anyone confirm when this took place? If I were to guess, by the looks of it it's...

I wasn't sure where to post this since we don't have a "keyboard" category. Has anyone ever come across one? Might it be a fake? http://providence.craigslist.org/msg/4020716572.html

I recall there being an option to design a custom-built Guild at some point during the mid- to late-nineties. These models were constructed in the Nashville Custom Shop and there was a spec sheet available at my local Guild dealer at the time. Choices ran the gamut from wood materials to various...

Note: I incorrectly posted this in the archtop section -- my apologies. There's a D-40E posted on Craigslist Boston -- http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/msg/1476754065.html. I'm curious about the stock pickup. What did Guild use for acoustics from this period, and how do they hold up today? As...

Hi folks, Just received my first classical (a 1980 Mark III) via Ebay today that I'd love to show you all, but it appears the case is locked and won't open. I'm wondering if any of you have experience with picking a case lock. This is one of those heavy duty Guild cases from that era with the...

Found this link while browsing the Internet and thought some of you might find it interesting. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= ... l%26sa%3DG

All this talk about which finish everyone prefers got me thinking about the various sunbursts Guild has offered over the years. It is my understanding that my guitar, a 1981 D-25SB, was made during a period when Guild was generally applying its darkest sunburst finishes, similar to what you'd...

Thought some of you might enjoy this photo of Springsteen with what looks like a 70's-era D-40 with a great cherry-sunburst finish. I've always been a fan of this shot. It came from a New York Times Magazine cover story in 1996 entitled "Steinbeck in Leather," which chronicles Springsteen's...

Hi all, Has anyone here played one before? If so, can you comment on the tone of pearwood? Thanks in advance!

Hello folks. Does anybody know if it is still possible to order a Guild to specs from the custom shop in Nashville? My local dealer used to have a check list where you could mark certain items and send it in to guild for pricing. This was around 99 or so, before the Westerly plant closed. I...
