While on the hunt for another maple body Guild acoustic, an F-47R fell into my lap instead. IMHO, the reintroduction of these models by Guild in 2007 was brilliant. My 2012 F-40 was a great guitar with the only drawback being that it did not have a 1 3/4” nut width. So, it was only natural that...

A prolific jazz player has left the room. RIP.

I wish real Genalex KT-88s were still being made. And Mullard EL-84s. And RCA 6V6GTs. And...

The King of Twang has passed. RIP. :cry:

This is Canadian jazzbo, Ben Bishop. It looks like either the neck has been modded (headstock shape, plain block inlays, point at end of fingerboard) or it's a new neck attached to an AA body.

I never heard of this brand. From 1965...

Saw this on FB. Not sure if it's from an Guild ad or something else. I usually think of Telecasters when I think of James Honeyman Scott, but here he is with a Guild.

From 1961.

On today's playlist is the 1998 Starfire III. I haven't had this one out of its case for a while and I forgot how nice it is to play.

It's hard to resist a guitar with your name on the headstock (good thing my name isn't Taylor or Gibson) so here's my c. 1953-54 Gagliano Model 700. It's just a jobber version of the Kay K-37, but with slightly fancier binding and fret markers and a nicer tailpiece. It has laminated...

After collecting info for the past 3 years, I thought I’d share some "how to date my guitar" info for the Indonesian-made Guilds. Also please check out Ralf's (@SFIV1967) excellent post for more info. The Newark Street Surfliner series include the Surfliner, Surfliner HH, and Surfliner Deluxe...

If Vox and Fender go together, what does Guild go with?

It’s the battle of the jumbo 12-strings: F-212XL Standard vs F-412 vs Martin Grand J40-12! The guitars are roughly similar, but then again, they’re not. All three have 17” (nominal) width bodies that are 4 3/4” deep. The Martin has an Indian rosewood body while the F-212XT is Honduran mahogany...

When did Guild offer this type of badge for cases? I assume it was an accessory that could be ordered through a dealer or Guild directly.

I recently got this F-212XL Standard from a fellow LTGer. I had a hard time tracking down info for this model and its sibling, the cutaway version F-212XLCE Standard. It could be that very few were made or people love them and hang on to them or both (probably both). Guild said this about the...

It has push button reverb, tremolo, and 3 speakers!

Angelica. I know Richard P. had an Angelica, but it was Gibson J-200 clone.

Wasn't James How the Rotosound guy?
