It all began as I so often hear: "Oh you play drums, lets see what you can do." Having practiced every Bonham lick off every Zeppelin album since the day, its like riding a bike. So I have been on drums now for a few recent years in my now apparent semi-retired mode. This is how it seems to go...

I do everything possible not to let this happen, since every dent would have me cringe. You can see here in the live performance, where at 2:10 there's a "Whack" to the headstock and the impact projects through the PA. It is cringeworthy since you can only imagine all these clunks and hits...

In the event that one comes available I am wondering if anyone has experience with these Cordoba made guitars. The reason I'm asking is that I have only heard one so far. It came new right out of the box at a nearby retail store. I was not going to buy one that day so I let a salesman show it...

This guitar is advertised for sale on reverb: https://reverb.com/item/6472181-guild-f-50-1969 (Possibly re-listed) I sent a message to the seller and after quite some time I got an answer from the artist himself. He was asking $9,000 + $108 shipping. When I asked the absolute best price, he...

For those who are asking what a Guild D55 should sound like, this is a pretty good representation. It can be heard ringing out in this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBmDCDbmtpc Might anyone know the tuning? From the sound and chord shapes I am wagering that it is DADGAD. Does that sound...

What's this? Bob Dylan playing bass at a live concert. Does it look like he plays about the same as any beginner? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS3BMd7JwDc

I was curious about this model of F50 guitar. Was wondering why Guild made a scaled down cheaper F50 guitar, although I was oblivious to much about guitars in 1997. It seems like a good price for it...

According to factory specs, beginning in New Hartford were F50/ F55's made with 2 graphite neck reinforcement rods, or was that done just on 12 strings? Also what 12 string models- F412/ F512, F30-12, and F212 XL? Of course it is difficult to know for certain unless the neck is opened up...

I just came back from a trip to Elderly Instruments today, mainly to check out the new Cordoba models that recently arrived. 1. An F512 was sold. Was I too late to the party? I divulged to the salesman that I was in the area on business, and was coming to Elderly anyway- no matter what. (plenty...

I saw this on reverb.com and I'm quite ecstatic to see them available "BRAND NEW" from Cordoba after waiting so long. PS- they offer a "19% price drop": https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=Guild%20F512%20guitar

At Guitar Center yesterday I looked at all the electric guitar strings for sale and the salesmen confused me so much I didn't buy any. I'm wondering what advice I might get here. Bear in mind that for all my acoustic's I have resolved that D'Addario Phosphor Bronze lights work best for me on all...

Over the past few years I have gotten a few more electric guitars, and as fate might have it everyone wants to know what a player can do on an electric, since there are plenty of very good acoustic players around. So, now that my acoustic guitars are in the closet, what would the best tension...

Never heard this one before, but here's a cowboy that likes his Guild, enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAnKZ1LZ8fw

Just finished playing a well paid wedding gig early this afternoon. It would be great if I was able to play my Guild guitar, but was put on the roster to play drums for this. We had keyboard, bass, acoustic guitarist, a lady vocalist, and background vocals. The songs were all modified from the...

I haven't seen this in person, but from the images, it looks nice: https://www.elderly.com/guild-f-50-lh-1978.htm

I received this video today via email and find the making of a new burst D40 shown in it to be quite interesting...

I would like an opinion for those who might have one, not sure what response I would get on other sites, so I'm posting it here. I bought off ebay what I have been wanting for a long time. The seller has 1700 positive feedbacks, with 2 recent neutral, so I pulled the trigger to get a 2014...

Over a few years I can see my ebony fretboard and bridge look dry, especially in the dryness of winter at 20 - 30% lower humidity. I have humidpacks on all my acoustic guitars, but I am still a believer in applying Linseed Oil about every 2 years. I try diluting any excess oil with naptha to...

Who knew? Is this Jeff Beck strumming 3 chords on "For Your Love" in 1965? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU5zqidlxMQ

In 2014 when New Hartford was closing the factory I was all over trying to obtain my dream guitar. I got the name of the dealer who was handling the sale here on LTG and called with my #1 through #5 choice of guitar models that I could use. Within a day after checking with the factory the dealer...
