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...
... 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...
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!

"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...
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...

May have to try a set now.
Guy's version from Dublin Blues album:
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...
