Hey guys. Someone offered me a trade. A 2000s Jazzmaster AVRI for a D55 1979 mint with case candy. What is the value of that guitar? I know I need to look for neck reset issues, etc. Assuming all is okay, what's the value. Wondering if this is a good trade. The JM sells for about 2k. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the neck width of these? I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks

Hey guys. Now that I got my guild setup and playing nicely, I decided to schedule a gig over Thanksgiving weekend. It's my first in like 20 years. I quit back then because of performance anxiety. But, I want to give this another shot because I love playing music. Do you have any advice? I can...

Hey guys, what's the best way to go about getting a strap in place for a 2010 D-40. It only has one strap button. Do you drill in another one, or do you tie something around the headstock? If the latter, what's the best way to do this? Thank you.

$350? https://fresno.craigslist.org/msg/d/guild-acoustic-guitar-dv-52-nt/6322092842.html Fresno is like a 5hr drive for me, but doable. I just feel like this can't be true...do you guys see anything wrong with it?

Can you guys send me on the right path for a smaller body (00 or 000 type) Guild for blues. Something with a Mahogany back/side at the least. Spruce or mahogany top. I have a dread covered with a wonderful D-40 (N.H. made) and need a smaller body for playing on the couch and that mid range punch...

Can anyone recommend a good shop in San Diego for setting up a Guild (D40)? Also, I have a ukulele that needs minor setup work. If you have a shop that can do both that would be great.

Can anyone ID it? It doesn't look like his F-30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85BvT5X6WSo

Hey guys, I recently made a post sharing how I bought a NOS/Mint D-40 standard. It plays a bit stiff. I even down-tuned the strings to Eb to see if the strings might be the culprit. I figure at Eb the John Pearse strings (which are known for feeling stiff) would match D'Addarios. Plus they're...

Are these any good? I was looking at a 70s mk2. What is the going rate for one in decent shape?

Hey guys, I wasn't sure if pictures go in the old thread or require a new thread. Let me know for future reference. So here are some shots of that 2010 New Hartford D-40 I bought yesterday. I was only able to get a few shots of it, but hopefully they show the beautiful, like new condition. I...

Can you guys give me things to look for? I made a list of like 13 bullet points regarding condition, neck twists, bridge issues, angles, etc. General acoustic guitar condition issues. But is there anything specific to this model I should look for? Also, is there any way to look inside for...

Hey guys. I purchased a new m-20 and had it shipped directly from Guild. The setup out of the box seems pretty good. I had to add a little relief to the neck (about 1 business card of relief). I just tested the nut by fretting at the 3rd fret and eying the space. There is just a little space...

I came across this 90 year old pamphlet from Gibson. http://www.frets.com/FretsPages/Museum/Documents/Gibson/Action1914/action1914.html The first paragraph is really interesting with regards to new instruments. Is that true of all acoustics, even modern builds? The way I interpret it is that...

Just a head's up on the new factory and my dealing with them. About a month ago, I purchased an M-20 sunburst new from an authorized dealer. When he went to ship it, he noticed all these scuffs on the guitar (brand new): http://imgur.com/a/inPNn So, he told me he wasn't comfortable selling...

I'm new to guild so I apologize in advance if I'm ignorant. But...I've seen some okay deals lately on CL, but won't most of these need neck resets? The owner of the most recent inquiry won't even give me the action at the 12th fret. Lol. I wonder what he is hiding. My luthier, Jim Witt in San...

I thought this sounded really good for the price. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpk29us7Npw What's the reputation of these?

Hey guys. I had to buy one of these (the USA M-20 reissue in sunburst) online b/c I couldn't find a dealer, so it will be a crap shoot. They want to know how I'd like it setup. Does Guild have a site where they give recommendations for each guitar? Personally, I like about 2.25mm on the Low...

Sorry if I'm bombarding the forum with this, but as mentioned in another thread, the DV52 I purchased got damaged. I don't know a lot about Guilds, and was wondering if any new models are equal to the DV52? I'm afraid to go back into the used market after this experience and would consider a...

Hey guys, I bought a DV-52 (natural satin? Is this the S model?) today for $950 online. It is described as "excellent condition". I feel that's a pretty good price if true. We'll see. I tried some Martin HD-28 guitars in a local shop last month and liked them a lot, but the G string sounded...
