I’ve decided it's time to sell some of the Guilds I’ve acquired over the years. So first up is this 1961 CE-100 DP #15467 in very good condition. Other than the usual light checking for a guitar of this age, the finish looks great. The back has a small about 3/4” bit of finish scraped off in...

Hey all, After a long worrisome wait for this to arrive via FedEx from Chicago in some very cold weather....my purchase from Reverb showed up yesterday. I took these photos after giving it a quick look over, set up and new strings, but still need to clean up some dust and smudges and and rub...

Hello all, I've always liked Guild's CE-100 electric archtops, so it was only natural find out what the acoustic CA-100 might be like. I've had a '61 for a decade or more but acquired this '63 CA-100 Special B (for blonde I guess) a couple years ago. I just recently put the original DeArmond...

Hello all.... I posted some info including some mention of the 25.5" scale length on my '53 Guilds on the jazz forum a few days ago. I did feel some uncertainty about subsequent production of long scale Guilds after the move to Hoboken. My own experience with guitars I've owned is that NY era...

Hello all...... I've had these for quite a few years stored away and needing a lot of work to be made playable. My luthier was able to get to them over the last couple months and I'm completely amazed by his work and these two little Gibsons! On the left is a mahogany bodied '29 L-0 that has...

Hello all.... Time to thin the collection! More to come.... This '58 66J sounds and works great. It's got nice warm sound that many expect and enjoy from an amp of this period. I frequently will scoop the mids with an EQ pedal if I want something more like a "blackface" tone and the old Jensen...

I have a '61 X-175B that could use a new case. It seems like the Newark Street X-175 is dimensionally very close to the old original, so imagining it might be a perfect fit. Can anyone who has one give me an idea about the fit, quality and sturdiness of these cases? Thanks!

If someone has and might want to part with either of these models in very good to excellent condition contact me. I don't mind some playing wear. (Use but not abuse is fine.) Can buy, but also have some very nice pre-62 Guild archtops available for trade consideration. '62 T-100DP '53 X-150...

Quite a needle in the haystack search I know.....but might as well try. I'm looking for at least a pair of these.....four would be off the charts..... If someone has at least a couple to spare let me know. Thanks....

I stuck this photo in Walter's Cordoba topic and realized it would be better to start a new thread.... I'm no expert....just some thoughts, observations and experience.... These resemble the DeArmond 2000 or what Gretsch called the "Dynasonic" but without the more complicated apparatus for...

No longer looking for hinged nickel plate harp tailpiece. Found one.....all set thanks! z

Hello all......SOLD already....thanks! ---------------------------------------------- Time to let go some of some projects I don't have time for these days.....not to mention some nasty medical bills to pay! If not for need for binding repair/replacement this is quite a nice '57...

I'm looking at a circa '64 S-50 Jetstar. Don't know much about these (yet), but this photo shows what appears to be a scarf joint at the headstock, neck join. Is this typical Guild factory construction for this guitar at that time? Thanks.... z

Hi all.... Just acquired a '60 T-100C. It cleaned up quite well and sounds wonderful! My Saturday morning wake up with coffee....... It looks so nice next to this Guild made '58 Sonola amp, I just had to snap a photo. Quite the well matched sonic duo as well...... Geeze this thing is RED...

Just got this Sonola 100G back from repair and restoration.... I'd written a longer account on this amp and the work done, but mistakenly erased it, so briefly.... ...it needed....a new output transformer, replace power supply filter components, out of tolerance resistors in the preamp...

Hi all, I had these out and saw a good photo opportunity to send to an interested friend. Its interesting to compare the shapes and proportions of these three 17" archtops from the 50's era, and just posted this to the jazz forum. I thought some here might also appreciate a look. They are...

Hello all.... Its been awhile since I posted about a new old Guild. I've found a 1960 early Starfire......here it is sitting to the right of my '61. Forgive the grainy looking photo....tried for the natural light and not so good.... The '61 is a great guitar.......when I acquired it I was...

Hello oddball amp people...... I have a nice '55 Guild Masteramp 66 and had mentioned I'd shoot some photos of the interior chassis for those that are interested. Keep in mind that this one's been serviced and made fully functional. No longer a "museum piece" so the speak. It has some...

'55 X-50 and '57 CE-100 binding project Hi all.... I sold this 1955 X-50 (#2833) last year and missed it so much that I talked the buyer into selling it back to me. It looked so good next to the CE-100 so I snapped this photo...... The '57 CE-100 (#5467) has been sitting in storage for...

Yes.....I know its highly unlikely that someone here has an extra 17" Guild case, but one never knows.... I don't mind some bumps and wear as long its still in good working condition. My '53 X-100 would sound even better than it does if it had the right case......:smilet-digitalpoint Let me...
