    New to Me, "By Guild" acquisitions...

    My first Burnside "by Guild" was a bolt-on Super Strat with the pointy headstock and "V" fretboard markers. I picked up a real Guild S-284 sometime after I sold the Burnside (in the late '90s), but the Active EMGs did not have the power and tone of those Jap passive PUs. I wanted another...

    SF I comparison

    Fronobulax... So how do you compare the '67 SF I to the Korean SF? The pickups are in different positions, right? How about fit and finish... are you impressed with the MIK? I have a few Guilds, but I also have a few "by Guilds" - including some MIK DeArmands, including 2 Pilot Vs, an Ashbory...

    Wow! Just brought my latest investment home, no pictures yet... This guitar wasn't even on my wish list because I thought it would be too expensive (late 60's Starfire IV was at the top of my list). The quilt is stunning! Original black Gator case with Hunter Green crushed velvet inside. Two...

    Regular wood glue removal

    OK, the previous 'Glue Removal' thread caught my attention, but my problem is a bit different. I knew this was going to be a major project, and I've always wanted a headless guitar... so I got this Burnside by Guild 'Tele' or T250 copy that had the head stock badly broken off. I ended getting...
