"for life", and thank you. Banned again from a "larger" forum, no idea why exactly, you never do, because there no message except "You been banned". And good riddance, to myself. I went back to read the dumpster fire thread, I knew I was heading for a ban, you always do when you "take bait" I...

I'm seeing signs of it all over the place, and it doesn't look good. Just now asking the internet a legit question about Wildland firefighting and how ready should you be at night, or just to flee at a moment's notice, and this - sorry mods - is at the top of the page. What happened? Is this...

It looks like I'm not going to have any. The 1st one is "I wish I hadn't worked so hard", and I have a lazy streak a mile wide so I'm ok there, the 2nd is "I wish I'd expressed my feelings more", and as a [failure as] an Anger Management Class graduate, I think I've done ok there too, in fact...

This isn't going to start out on a real happy note. In case I mentioned it here, our closest neighbor and good friend couldn't go on - supposedly - and did away with himself at a woodsy rest stop "Holiday in Cedonia" last June, leaving quite a trail of unhappiness we're still dealing with...

Anyone going?

Anyone remember the SNL "Secrets" skit with Senator McCain, RIP John. We all have secrets, but the internet is so intimate, lol, you can share with anyone with very little consequences. Here's mine, which I'm only passing on to be helpful towards [married] fellow guitar players who might have...

I learned to play guitar in '68, my F-112 is a '68, my next fave guitar is a '68, my favorite truck/camper is a '68. It's before Woodstock, but a lot of good things were happening. You'd think that because we now live in such an age of enlightenment that things might be much better now than...

I did it, all by myself. Actually, I did it to post this video for y'all from a couple summers ago, of what happens when you have too much Guild on your hands.

Ok, so the babes were definitely older ;[] But here I am, playing the F112 at a very large gathering, 1st big party in the valley this year, a 70th Bday for the gal hosting the party (a huge place with a stage), and a 50 year anniversary for me and her this year since getting here in '74. We've...

The other day while working on the F-112 in decent sunlight, I noticed the binding is very thin and made of pickguard material, it's not black, it has vaiation and light spots. Is this the normal biding on these guitars? Also, the fanciest headstock for the bottom of the barrel 12 string, with...

Looking to trade for something older and a little bit lighter. Both guitars are plug n play, full saddles and no signs of abuse. They don't get played, a damn shame. Like a Westerly Guild in good fettle, these guitar will deliver the goods when needed, acoustically (best) or plugged in, on or...

Once upon a time, I'd pickup bits of Guild, it's a neat way to feed the need. I've now decided that my F-112 is such a keeper, this is all dedicated to the guitar like a Guild museum exhibit. I'd be interested in an a more age appropriate owner's manual.

Will also consider basses and acoustics. 70's vintage Electro Harmonix pedals. It's light. I prefer light guitars/basses. My days of 10lb boat anchors are behind me. Value of guitar based on comparable guitars in today's market.

My '68 F-112's bridge saddle is so low, it could sound better with the strings up higher, it's not all it could be. It's totally flat without any radius, it's a problem I'm trying to fix and has been holding the guitar back a long time. The saddle looks greenish, probably some unbleached bone...

Adi is supposed to be cleaner than this, considering bear claw had been considered a defect at one time, long before the tonewood debate... Sitka seem to have more of the anomalies, silking, bear claw, medullary rays. Getting back from the airport in the middle of the night last night and...

Picking her up at 9:30p at the airport tonight, just a few hours of messless solitude left, lol. The closer you get to "the end of the vacation", the more precious time gets and last night I had the definitive acoustic guitar showdown, armed with my best picks. I kept a notebook nearby, from...
