After I retired, I wanted to bring my music to some of the Assisted Living Homes in my area. I started doling this just before Covid hit. Now that we are back to what ever normal is, I'm taking my music to over 20 assisted living homes. I rotate my guitars as I do my shows. Today was my day...

I love the tone from my Guild 8 string baritone. It surprises me that I don't see more members here playing one of these guitars. It is the lack of interest in baritone guitars in general? I have settled in on tuning mine D to D and using medium gauge strings for now. This combination gives me...

It's been a few month sense I got my replacement Baritone from Guild. Had to send mine back for bridge issues. Guild choose to replace rather than repair. The good news is that the replacement guitar sounds wonderful and the bridge is holding up, so far. LOL I really enjoy the sound of a...

May your new year be a good sight better than the old year was. Enjoy your guitars and play them in good health. Dale

Yes I got my New, Replacement Guitar yesterday. Let it sit in the box for the required time and opened it up today. It's my replacement Guild 8 String Baritone. Not a lot to report other than it looks like everything is where it should be and no apparent problems with the Bridge, so far! This...

It has been over a month sense I took my Guild 8 string baritone to the shop to get repaired/replaced. Not a word from the shop or from Guild. I decided to call Guild/Cordoba to see what was going on. To my surprise, they told me that they had not received the guitar yet. I was very upset and...

I was changing strings on my Guild Baritone yesterday, when I noticed that the bridge was split across the saddle slot. This will be the second one to be sent back to Guild with Bridge issues. The first one was due to the bridge lifting from the guitar. The timing is bad. I am planning on...

I have mentioned that my left arm hurts when I play guitar. Hopefully Shoulder Replacement [not arm LOL] will help relieve the pain. I have discovered that I can play my Guild 8 sting Baritone with a 27" scale length, longer without pain, than I can a smaller guitar. WHY??? The baritone is...

I think that I mentioned a while ago that I wasn't very fond of the tuners that came on my Guild 8 string Baritone. Tried several suggestions about getting them to loosen up but nothing worked. Time to replace them with smooth gears that will hold up to the big strings on a baritone. It would...

I have expanded the amount of assisted living centers to where I am now playing at 20 of them. I only play once every month or two at each one of them. This will be my third or fourth time to play at many of these places, so I am now looking for more new songs that these folks will enjoy. They...

I am loving this new 8 string guitar more and more every day. It is a very versatile guitar when tuned C# to C#. The one little problem that I am having with it is the quality of the open back Guild Branded tuners. They are stiff and not very smooth. I have tried to oil them and even loosen the...

I am still loving my 8 string baritone Guild. It has filled several gaps in my guitar collection. With my C# tuning, this guitar is so versatile. It is now going with me to my gigs. Sounds great both acoustically and plugged in. It sounds great even when capoed all the way up to the 6th fret...

I had a gig at a Senior Center today and took my Guild 8 string baritone with me. For the first half of the set, I used my go to Martin Grand Performance guitar. For the second half, I use my 8 string baritone. My PA is a JBL Line Array and I plug directly into it. I was very happy with the way...

Guild/Cordoba replaced my 8 string baritone with a new one. They were great to work with. I sent the old baritone with the cracked top to them with Abalone Dot Bridge Pins. The new guitar came with their plastic pins and a message that my pins were inside the guitar case compartment. Can't ask...

I had to send my 8 string baritone back to Cordoba due t5o cracks in the top of the guitar. The cracks are at each end of the bridge. Cordoba will make it right and replace the guitar. The problem is that they don't have any of them in stock. It will be sometime in November before they get any...

I purchased the 8 string baritone in March. Today, I noticed that there are two cracks in the top of the guitar at the edges of the bridge. They are small right now, less than 1/2" but they will most likely grow. I have kept the guitar humidified so that should not be the problem. Looks like...

Never seen a Guild import 12 string to play so I'm asking others here if they have. How do they compare to each other? What other brand 12 string sounds close to Guild's import 12 strings? I had a newer Yamaha LL-16-12 and while it was nice, it was missing something.

After a few months of aggravation, I received my new Guild 8 string baritone today. It was shipped from California to Utah in 2 days! The guitar is beautiful and the set up is good with the exception of the octave string for the forth string. [.012] The octave string [.012] is a lot closer to...

I just pre ordered the new 8 string baritone. It will be mid April before I see it. Excited to see how it compares to the Alvarez 6 string baritone that I sold to fund the new Guild.
