    Relining a case

    Has anyone here done this ? I thought I would check with the brain trust before committing. I have an original case for an M-65 which has gone funky, by which I mean that the spots where the fabric touches the guitar seem to cause discoloration or oxidization of the frets and strings. Is there...

    Disturbing Starfire issue

    So I goes to get my bass out of it's case, and I sits down to play, and the string is floppy. I figure one of them broke, although they are low tension flats and didn't look heavily used. Then I play the other strings, and they're messed up too. I look a little closer, realize the bridge is at a...

    Starfire III reaches its final form

    I just got back one of my favorites from having some work done. I got this about 15 years ago through Ebay from a pawnshop in Philadelphia that I previously used to visit when I lived there for a couple of years ('89-'91); the only piece of music gear I bought in that period of low cash flow...

    WTB Man seeks vintage Guild with DeArmonds

    I would like to put the word out to the tribe that I am seeking a good condition Hoboken built full depth hollowbody that came with the white top DeArmonds (Dynasonics). So, I think that would be something from the X- series (not including single pickup guitars), or maybe an SF-350 or CE-100D...

    WTB looking for a rosewood bridge for a 60s T100

    If anyone happens to have a spare original, or know where one can be found, I would love to find a rosewood height adjustable floating bridge for a T100. (Which I believe are the same as used on most Guild arched top electric and acoustic guitars from that period.) Failing that, if there is a...

    B-500 acoustic bass w/piezo ?

    I played a Guild acoustic bass guitar last night which I thought was fairly cool. I think the label said B-500, but I haven't found any hits on that name, so maybe I'm not remembering it correctly. It's got a cutaway, kind of a medium depth body for an ABG, oval soundhole, and built in pickup...

    DeArmonds on a SFIII Special

    I just took delivery of a '66 (I think) SFIII special, in "ebony" which is now faded to green. I'm pretty happy with it, but I was surprised that there are two different types of pickups on it. The bridge pickup is the usual Dynasonic type with a white face. The neck pickup also appears to be an...

    'nother tailpiece/bigsby question

    Brothers, does changing from a "harp" tailpiece to a Guild Bigsby require drilling different holes in the bottom of the guitar body ? In pics, the mounting looks the same, but yet it seems you usually can't do a change like that without some kind of collateral damage. I was thinking how cool...

    Bigsby setup question

    I just got a second Kustom K200, sans the spring and arm for the Bigsby. So I got a replacement arm and a "hardware kit" which consists of the main screw that holds the arm to the unit, plus a plastic washer, a metal retainer washer (not sure of the proper terminology), and a nut. My main...

    Mickey Mouse pickup questions

    I've become a Guild devotee recently and now have a couple of T100Ds, a blonde '60 and a lovely '66 in Emerald Green. The latter is a new arrival and I had some lingering questions about the "Mickey Mouse" Guild single coil pickups that I hope are not a total rerun of other threads. 1) I can...
