I was wondering if anyone has tried Ilitch Noiseless Wiring on any of their single coil guitars? I'm planning on giving it a try with my M-75 Aristocrat eventually.

I'm sure many of you saw the email and web announcement that Guild is featuring a reintroduction of the Starfire III, Starfire II Bass, and the M-75 Aristocrat in black. I noticed that the M-75 now has chrome hardware appointments instead of the gold tuners, bridge, tailpiece and knobs. Has...

https://www.guitarworld.com/news/dean-guitars-armadillo-foreclosure-debts It looks like Dean Guitars is in some financial hot water. I hope they pull through. I don't like to see any long-standing guitar business go under, especially an American family-owned company.

I just went to Reverb to find my entire Watch List and Feed completely empty. Has this ever happened to anyone else before? At least my Searches and Shops are still saved. I wonder if they have server capacity issues?

To avoid veering in another recent thread, I decided to post a new one. We've heard ample discussion and lore about Nick Drake and the venerable Guild M-20. There's also been mention of this talented young youtuber named Josh Turner who is an amazing all around player and singer. I wanted to...

Has anyone read about this yet? Apparently, Marshall has been acquired by a Swedish speaker company, Zound Industries. They have been conquered by Vikings and one of the epicenters of death metal. Seriously though, it will be interesting to see if there will be any impact on product lines and...

So my wife and I started watching NCIS, which we never saw before and apparently actor Michael Weatherly is a Guild fan. I had read that the actor Michael Weatherly composed music too, so I went a youtubing. I came across a vid of him wielding what I think is an F-50. I also saw a vid of him...

Sorry if this has been posted already--I searched but did not find. This interesting and informative documentary focuses on Jeff Lynne's development as a producer. Check it out free on YT.

Time to add another timely post about strings. I thought I'd point out the Musicians Friend Stupid Deal of the Day to all you electric players. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid A 12-pack of D'Addario EXL110-12P Nickel Roundwound Electric strings for $40.00. Nowadays, that's quite the...

Hey there, fellow Guilders. Can anyone help me with some search fu? I'm looking for a thread showing a guy who modded a sunburst NS M-75 Aristocrat -- at least I think it was. I recall he swapped out the pickups for some TV Jones or Gretsch pickups, and added a Bigsby of some sort. The thread...

So this is actually my first Guild acoustic. Serial number dates it to 1964. Apologies for my crappy phone pics. It has a spruce top and what appears to be pearwood back and sides. Three-piece Peruvian mahogany neck, ebony fretboard and bridge. Tuning machines look original and still function...

I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I searched and didn't see it. Here's an official Guild promo video of the X-350 Stratford demoed by LTG forum member @Dylan McGee Jones on youtube. A fine demo and outstanding playing, Dylan. Kudos! I'm going to go out on a limb and say...

I'm not sure if this was posted already, but a search didn't dredge it up. Here's a nice review of the Guild D20 with very high accolades.

Like many pedal makers, Jamie Stillman seems to enjoy the strange, the obscure, and the quirky. While watching this episode of the series "Show Us Your Junk," Stillman shows viewers Earthquaker Devices' in-house practice studio. I was pleasantly surprised to see this quick shot of him with what...

I just finished reading this book published last fall. Multiple authors write about small venues across the U.S. where famous bands passed through during the late 1970s-early 2000s. There seems to be a focus on punk rock and alternative music clubs from the 80s-90s. These were commonly the main...

Has anyone ever tried messing around with any of these virtual pedalboard design sites? I like the playground the best. They seem to have the most updated lists of pedals, although none of them have everything, of course. Like the guitar designer sites, I've wasted a lot of time dreaming here...

While calculating shipping for a package on the USPS website, I was surprised to run across this: Imagine my dismay when I couldn't find the appropriate boxes to check for my package consisting of dirty socks, the severed gizzard from a Himalayan yak, and a ball of petrified ear wax. Hmm. . ...

Did anyone else hear about this? This is horrible, and I can't even imagine. Be on the lookout. There's a link below the video to a PDF list.

So I finally got the chance to acquire a NS M-75 Aristocrat. Much thanks Default! I guess this was originally GAD's, so it once again remains happily in "la famiglia della LTG." This arrived over the weekend, but I just got a chance to set it up. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics I'm noted...

How does one create these "enhanced links." Sorry, but I'm not sure what to call them. I see them for ebay and Reverb. These are the ones I'm referring to. I barely recall reading about this once, and after many failed searches, I just couldn't find the thread that explained how to create...
