With recent worries regarding condition, have none with this one from Stevie Coyle at mighty fine guitars. Completely brought up to snuff. $1800.

Don't go wrenching on your guitar if you don't have a very good idea of what you are doing. Do loosen strings if you tighten the rod. Can you have the shop prove to you that the trussed works? Do you have a tech that can check it out for you? On a lovely old guitar like that, I'd have the frets...

My 70 D 35's is very much like this one with Guild stenciled in gold on the case. Very aged now, but the case is in good shape.

I have had Teddy himself install Dazzos in seven guitars. I may have 70s in two of them. The rest were from 60 to 100 depending on guitar. Anyone can put them in and Teddy will talk to anyone. I happen to be in close proximity to Dazzo and SunnAudio. Imagine setting your EQ flat and getting...

After I bought my really good Martin M 36, I was able to walk out of a music store without that pang in the gut I always had leaving. I went 25 years before I became a flat picking dread man. Once you reach a certain level it becomes which flavor of good. My 70 Guild D 35 qualifies as over...

For what it's worth, I have a Lyric somewhere in a drawer. No low end at all. It would make a good combos with the Element which is also in a drawer. That would be an Anthem if combined. But I have quit this rathole for money in favor of my Dazzos and a SunnAudio pre combo. I understand you...

Every guitar forum is flooded with "that price is outrageous" threads. It is a whole new world and very dependent on the guitar and where it falls in the marketplace. My neighborhood has been the hottest market in the last few years because it is the most affordable. But a million will not buy...

In what world would you get 25% off a limited edition guitar? As an aside, this market tends to hold value. It wouldn't to me, but a lot of folks love these.

To be clear, my aids do have a bevy of different programs. Some are loaded into them based on the info you give the people servicing you. They can then tweak that program. One of my default programs is called playing music. I've found the high end to produce a harsh, tinny tone. But with the...

Even more than ever, my hearing is just my hearing. I don't think my D 35 is overly bright, just the high end boost on the music channel of my hearing aids.

Today, my 2011 Weber Yellowstone Deluxe mandolin.

I'm playing all of them fiddling with my new hearing aids. So far, so good on that front. I've found acceptable and am looking to improve on that when I go back to the pros.

I have just the ticket, less than good hearing coupled with sleep apnea. My C PAP machine sends a constant stream of air into my head causing a white noise that masks anything. I am blessed with being able to sleep through just about anything now. Actually, a good night sleep is a revelation...

My hearing aids do have basic EQ on the app, but the techs can adjust 17 or so frequencies, so I have no doubt I can get them dialed in. I'm taking my guitar into my next appointment. I did roll some highs off when I played my Santa Cruz, but the Guild D 35 is still too bright. I have every...

I came home from Costco with my new hearing aids yesterday. Boy the world is a brighter sounding place now. I have a playing music channel that works exceptionally well for playing guitar, except for my D 35, which is too bright. They say there is an adjustment period so I'll be patient. I may...

It doesn't bother me that you try different string, but knowing there is a guitar not getting played, well that will keep me up at night.

Strings are about the last thing I'd economize on. I'm using mostly Martin Lifespans phosphor bronze these days. Regular D'Addiarios are a good uncoated brand. I'd say the Lifespans last at least a hundred hours. I've learned to change them sooner than later.

My 70 D 35 has those tuners. I have no issues with tuning. Sure, they are not modern high ratio tuners, but they work fine, and I've never seen a tuner swap on these that did not suck aesthetically. They are no worse than the Martin tuners that came on my slot head 00 15. Compared to Rotomatics...

The Guild burst is as good as anything out there, and better than many.

Often folks will say their tastes have changed as they get older. As someone who had a hearing test last week, I'd strongly suggest one. So far I've found not one part of the body is not falling apart. There is no denying a hearing test printout. And no, I've never once thought I was missing...
