    Sold 1998 Guild D4-NT-HR, $475, VG++

    As the title suggests, I have a really nice D4-NT-HR"True American" that would be considered in excellent condition if not for a couple of slight marks on the bass-side neck (zoom in on pic along the fretboard at frets 3, 5, and 7). As such, it's still in Very Good++ condition, in my opinion...

    Bluesbird quality between Westerly and Corona?

    Aside from the Blues90 and Bluesbird P90 variations, were there any notable distinctions as the standard Bluesbird transitioned from Westerly to Corona production? Changes to the pickups, finish type, neck profile, etc.?

    1999 Bluesbird - original pickups?

    Do these look like the original pickups on this '99 Bluesbird at Thunder Road Guitars? Pole screws appear gold in some of the pictures and can't tell if it's just the angle of reflection or something else. And, if gold, they could be originals that someone changed out the pole screws for...

    Starfire III vs. X170?

    I'm still on the hunt for a Guildsby-equipped hollow or semi-hollow body.

X170 is a slightly deeper body; how great an impact is that on...

    Starfire IV - Convert Harp to Bigsby?

    I've been jonesing for a Starfire semi-hollowbody and have been zeroing in on various eras of Starfire IVs. Wondering how easy it would be to swap out a harp tailpiece for a Bigsby or Guildsby. I'm guessing after-market availability leans more to the likelihood of it being a Bigsby. (B7 most...

    NGD JF30-12 1998-ish?

    Greetings to all. Long-time lurker and frequent visitor with a long-lived admiration of Guild guitars of all varieties. I pulled the trigger on a nice enough looking Westerly JF30-12 that showed up on EBay through a pawn shop's listing. Owning a wonderful New Hartford F50 6-string, I've been on...
