    Opinions please....

    I'm helping my son find an acoustic, and this one fits lots of his criteria. What are all you smart people seeing with the heel? Is this pulling up such that a neck reset is coming? Other damage? Something else entirely? Does that saddle look low to you...

    Great Varied Song Redos

    I love it when songs get redone in a vastly different style or with a wildly different interpretation by different artists. This one was in my mind this week- In Bloom by Nirvana covered by Sturgill Simpson. Same song, but totally different songs. The original: Sturgill Simpson version...

    280 Flyer

    I picked this up a bit ago, but thought I’d post photos as it’s a less common set up. It’s an 80s guitar without the common parts that seem dated today- the pointy headstock and the tremolo. I paid a bit more than these go for sometimes at $525, but I wanted one without the tremolo and I’ve only...

    Guild branding change?

    Guild has been officially announcing the new Starfire I Jet 90 on social media. It was striking to me that the "logo" that was shown at the end- (0:37 above)was not the G-Shield or the any of the other commonly associated shapes from headstocks, etc. In this case it was that thingy that is on...

    FYI- Profile Posts are public

    Was clicking around in the new menus and such and found under "What's new" that I can see recent profile posts from one member to another. I'm not sure if people are assuming those are private, but ya'all should know they're not.

    Mahogany topped D4?

    Just saw a listing on my local Facebook Marketplace for a D4 with a mahogany top! That was a new one for me, it looks great! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/453755325535286/ (Must be logged in to Facebook to view)

    Guild Sighting-Cyril Pahinui

    Forgive me if this has been posted before or is known to all you smart people, but I was surprised. I've been on a Hawaiian Slack-Key kick, and happened on this mega-super group with Cyril Pahinui playing a Songbird (Solo at 1:42)...

    Help with possible Thunder 1 purchase?

    Hi all you smarter-than-me people. I'm leaning towards trying to give this a home: https://reverb.com/item/28543266-guild-vintage-t1-rvt-amp-black I've been curious about these amps for a bit, but really haven't wanted a project. This one, that was clearly serviced recently seems ready to go...

    Baritone Uke

    My Guild Baritone Ukulele is up on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/27112245-guild-b-11-baritone-ukulele-1960s I've enjoyed it, but haven't played it as much as I thought I would. Time for it to go to a new home. Pretty clean overall, but three cracks that have all been repaired. Ask away...

    LB-1 in T-Bird vs LB-1 in Starfire

    Hi All- I really enjoy my NS T-Bird, and play it pretty regular. I've been starting to look at Starfire options. I'd love an older one, but may not have the funds for such an endeavor. I've also be hesitant to look at the NS Starfires as they have the same pickups as the T-Bird. But perhaps...

    School me on string gauges, please

    I'm a long-time acoustic player, but have been becoming a more serious dabbler with electrics in recent years. I picked up a Pilot a few years ago, but haven't put the time in to really get comfortable on bass. I finally got the Pilot's neck massaged via truss rod to where it feels better to...

    Belated NGD. It's twins!

    Finally getting around to posting photos of my recently acquired '77 G212. I was super excited to find one that matched the finish on my '75 D40, and got it for a good price. It is also super duper clean, I can count the dings and scratches on one hand!

    CE 100 questions

    Hi All-- There is a CE 100 for sale near me that I'm thinking I'm thinking I'll go look at. The serial number makes it a 1956ish. It's a guy selling his grandpa's guitar and isn't a guitar player, so his descriptions are fuzzy and the pictures are poor, but he seems like an honest and nice...

    What am I doing wrong with searches??

    Every time I try to use the search function I get: The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: I've searched things like D40, CE 100, 100 by its self, tries long entries, short entries--always the same response.. What am I doing...

    HG Suffix?

    What is the HG suffix on a 90's era DCE1? I may go look at one with this, but can't make sense out of it. Does it have to do with the hand-rubbed finish? Thanks All.

    WTB WTB D-40 tuning machine

    Hi All- At some point I'll need to replace a treble side tuner from my '75 D-40. Anyone have extras laying around?

    Mahogany D25 question

    Hi All- Were all the mahogany topped d25s left with a natural/unfinished top? All cherry finishes spruce? I'd like to start shopping for a mahogany topped one, but don't know exactly what to look for in on-line listings. Thanks!

    2014 s-100?

    Hi All- A local shop has one of the above guitars still "new" in stock, selling it off at $499. From what I've read around here this seems to be a darn good deal on these, but I'm curious about the year. I recall reading( but can't find it again) someone suspecting that the 2015 pickup changes...

    Pilot headstock finish peeling

    Hi All- I posted this over in the Tech Shop as well, please delete if the duplicate isn't cool. I just added a Pilot bass to the lineup, and it has the peeling headstock finish that I've seen on quite a few others. I don't really want to loose the Guild logo off of the thing, and would like...
