    Finally - an update to my DV74 NGD

    After an excruciating (for me) delay in the time it took to get back my freshly setup DV 74, last week I finally got it back. Seems that the end of winter brought out area musicians in droves to get work done on their guitars, and the folks at Restoration Guitar have been busier than (as it was...

    So a fifty-five year old D40 walks into a bar....

    ... actually it was a music cafe's weekly open mic. This weeks host (different area musicians rotate through hosting here every week) showed up with a 1969 Hoboken D 40E that had been posted about here on LTG a few years back and verified by Hans and Ralf. The thread also sparked a discussion...

    A Christmas Present To Myself

    I have 3 guild acoustics : a D 55, D 46, and a Studio 24. All get plenty of play, and are guitars I really like! Some time ago, I got the bug to add a burst dread to my acoustics. Initially I thought a burst USA D 40 or Traditional D 40 would be the way to go. Then I considered a D20 mahogany in...

    Guild 50th anniversary D-55 - Brazilian back & sides

    Saw this picture on Facebook. I searched the name of the poster here on the Forum, but it returned nothing. Says it was one of a run of 50 in 2003, and was accompanied by this picture. Wow!!

    Ashbory Bass

    Dropped by a Guitar Show at the Sharonville Convention Center here in Cincy last Sunday. Met up with one of my sons and his buddy who was looking for an acoustic. Happened to see this guild on one exhibitor's table (most of his stuff was WAY overpriced, as was this Guild Bass with the broken...

    Interesting Post by Walter Parks

    Many of you know Walter is a big Guild fan. This was a post & picture on his Facebook page recently: "In Denmark it blew people’s minds that my guitars are missing parts. Yet I played The Okefenokee Swamp Park tonight In Waycross, GA and my rustic looking “Roadkills” somehow look and sound...

    Took my D 55 in for a "tuneup"

    Had some slight lifting of the bridge on my '99 D 55 and decided to take it in to have it evaluated. Ended up having it removed & reglued. Kudos to Chris Sisson at Restoration Guitar in Cincinnati's Northside neighborhood for a flawless repair, along with dressing the nut and checking the...

    The pedalboard bug bites once again - UPDATE

    As if I needed anther project in the shop, I decided that I'd do another iteration of my acoustic pedalboard. I have a small "grab & go" board that I take to open mics , but this will be larger. Decided I'd really get fancy, with flush mounted jacks, etc. I cut and assembled all the pieces for...
