    How do Madeira Nylon String Guitars Compare to the Mark Series?

    I assume they compare to Marks the way Madeira steel string guitars compare to Guilds. But -- as there's one near me, I thought I'd see if anyone is familiar with them. https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/msg/d/new-town-guild-madeira-60-classical/7724146615.html Thanks!

    Cedar-topped DV6 on Reverb

    https://reverb.com/item/78010802-guild-dv6-cedar-top-1997-natural Not many of these made (20?). This is the first time I can recall seeing one for sale on Reverb. I picked up one in NM condition years ago, and it's great! I know at least one other LTGer has one. Any others out there?!

    Good grief! The famous "Guild Accessories" model, and only 1200+ bucks!

    Craigslist: D40 Sunburst in Queens for $350.00

    https://newyork.craigslist.org/que/msg/d/fresh-meadows-guitar/7649459497.html Not sure what "was a bit repaired" or "extra mild" might mean (pictures don't tell us much) but if I was nearby I'd certainly go check it out!

    The ever elusive Guild D64

    Anyone know how many D64s are out there? There's the one I bought from Walrus years ago (KC100006). I don't think I've ever heard tell of another, either in the wild or here on LTG. There were a number of weirdnesses with this particular guitar. It's definitely a righty, but the original...

    New capo especially for 12-string guitars, any fretboard radius -- no buzzing!

    A number of LTGers have expressed frustration that their favorite capos don't work effectively on 12-string guitars. The reason most capos are problematic on 12-strings is because they have a hard pad that presses down the strings, and that makes it tricky to cleanly barre the adjacent thick...

    Stump the experts: Never-before-seen Guild guitar case

    This is being sold in Italy. I've never seen such a case on a Guild sold in the U.S. Is it possble Guild shipped guitars overseas without hardshell cases (possibly to save on shipping costs?) which then got cases upon arrival in their new country, ones made in that country? Legit? Or did...

    1954 Guild F-50 Navarre eBay

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/155408546228 Seller's description appears to be pretty accurate for a change -- looks in remarkable shape for its age, or any age. Unfortunately I left my 13 grand in my other pants.

    Unusual Guild JF30-12 String

    Many of us hold the JF30 12-string in high regard. (My introduction to Guild was the one I bought almost 20 years ago.) I'm posting the link to this one on eBay NOT for the usual reasons (the beauty of the maple, etc.), but rather for its undyed ebony bridge, which I find outstandingly...

    Compensated "Overhang" Saddle; pricy but cool idea!

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/183834871596 A number of my Guilds came to me with intonation problems. Some were slight enough that I could live with them being a little off, but there were a couple that were off enough that it drove me crazy. On those, the bass end of the saddle was too far...

    A puzzling case

    How does this work?!

    If nothing else, maybe I can at least stump Ralf! Recently this guitar turned up on eBay, supposedly for sale in Japan. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304139646702 I have the same guitar. I don't mean the same model, I mean this exact guitar -- it's in its case about 15 feet from where I'm typing...

    Something you avant-garde haters will love! W/ Guild content!

    Namely Zaila Avant-garde (her real name so far as I can tell), the recent winner of the Scripps National Spelling Bee championship, and something of a genius. And what becomes a genius best? If you click on the first clip in this link (Zaila showing off her juggling skills) you'll notice a...

    *Summer of Soul*, New Documentary, Guild sightings

    In addition to the music, the wild outfits, the choreogaphy of the Pips, and much more, LTGers may enjoy playing "name that Guild" during parts of this outdoor music festival taped in Harlem in 1969. Pops Staples, and whoever is playing guitar with Nina Simone (not the guitarist on most of her...

    D-46 (moved)

    Thanks for starting this thread -- these are super guitars! Mine's also a blond, also made in 1981 (Sept 14), stamped "factory second" (though I can't figure out why -- it's in very good shape). Anyone know how many were made? Must be somewhat rare, as mine is the only one I've ever seen.

    Guilds with 1 & 3/4" nut

    Many members here have said that any nut less than 1.75" wide is just too small for their freakish, baseball mitt-sized hands. I know this has been discussed in many threads, but maybe there should be a central place for a list of guitars that have 1 & 3/4" wide nuts? We can archive and...

    FS NGC -- 1957 Martin / 2005 Taylor (Ltd Edition Brazilian) looking for homes

    (Sorry, no Guild content. But I know there are Martin and Taylor fans here, so. . . .) My next-door neighbor Meg -- who sees me carting guitars in and out of my car all year 'round -- asked me to take a look at a couple guitars she has and is looking to find homes for. I wasn't expecting much...
