    Tell Me About Guild Classicals, Please

    Nice guitar Charlie, mine was also a C5. I sold mine probably 10 years or so ago. Do you still have yours? I don't see it on your list. Tom

    Tell Me About Guild Classicals, Please

    I had a Favilla, which is a well made and desirable classical guitar, made of all Mahogany. They may be hand made, as they were a small family owned business. They were around for about 100 years, but are gone now (1986) Tom

    Guild's Future

    Hi Phil Sorry about your health woes. Although it probably doesn't seem it to you, you have made big strides from 13 months ago. Keep up your exercises etc. and good things will come. Use those Guilds of your's, calling your name, as an incentive. Good Luck Tom

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

    Actually, I have seen some guys prefer the Mark II over the Mark III. You do realize that if you go to look at it, you won't be coming home empty handed. Tom

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

    Gotta agree with Sandy and others, wait for a Mark, there's plenty of them in the northeast, just be patient, scour CL and Marketplace. Granted, like the price of everything else these days, it's not the same as a few years ago, but I'd be surprised if you can't find one for $400. Also looks...

    Looking for a "beater"

    A "beater" is not $600, A beater would be $300 to $400 or less. Think of a 72 Plymouth. Tom

    Hotel California - case dismissed

    Loved the Eagles, but not a big fan of Henly and Frey for how they treated Don Felder. Justice has been served Tom..

    Leonard Cohen.... that's all....

    Until I heard him sing Alleluia, I never heard of him. I guess that is because he mainly worked in Canada and Europe. I looked him up on Wikipedia and he is quite an accomplished musician, writer, poet etc. His "Wikipedia" has got to be the longest I have ever read. Stop if you've heard this...

    A Tale of Two Saddles

    Chris, that is a beautiful job you did on that Martin.........wow. But what I learned most was about the saddle. Never did I think about checking it for flatness, but I will as soon as we head up north the first of April. thank you Tom

    Mississippi John Hurt Museum

    Not saying that it wasn't true, but that's a little hard for me to swallow............considering it just received landmark status, hours before. Tom

    String change, end of an era?

    And if these were a little smaller, they'd be perfect:

    String change, end of an era?

    I'd say that is good as an awl. OR, sharp nail and a hammer. By coincidence, the Mrs. needed to go to Hobby Lobby. I usually stay in the car and take a nap, but today I went in to poke around. I found this: It would definitely be my first choice, perfect size and $3.49.

    String change, end of an era?

    I don't think that would work, as the dot is only 1/4" you start reaming it with a steak knife, you'd end up with the dot in the hole. The hole has to be in place before installing. I think by the end of the day, Brad's string issues will be resolved! Tom

    String change, end of an era?

    I like the paper punch or the leather punch. I like the different size holes that the leather punch has, but I don't like the $117 price tag. I think the problem with either one is that the dot (marker) is 1/4", so the punch has to be probably no more that 1/8". Unless they are very sharp the...
