    Guild truss rod construction

    I was curious if anyone had a photo or has seen a how a guild truss rod is mounted in a neck? Specifically the anchor end from the 70s and 80s. Does it have a welded plate or threaded cylinder type anchor? Also what does the pocket look like that it sits in? Thanks in advance.

    Jerry Reed, what an entertainer!

    Those Peavey T60 guitars were heavy as I remember. A friend had bought the bass version of that series, I can't remember the model but yeah they were heavy.

    Low Action Coming out of New Hartford?

    At 1.1mm on the treble side of an acoustic you would need a light touch for that not to buzz.😁

    Bridges glued on with Epoxy glue?

    I agree 100% with your reasoning for letting a floating bridge float! I had an X-50 with the same double sided tape issue. It wasn't easy but I was able to remove it. It seems like a short sited solution to attach a floating bridge to me.

    S70D Control Layout

    The S70 (S70D) phase switch may not be as useful as the bypass switch which can fill out the sound in a number of the 5 positions. I have had both the S60D and S70D which use the Dimarzio SD1 pickups. If you can find one, the S70D has a much better array of sounds.

    Lightfoot Songbook

    That is a great collection of Gord's music. I have been listening to those four CDs for a number of years now. Many of the unreleased songs are real gems as well!
