My new to me 2014 M-75 gold top arrived yesterday. It has barely been played with plastic film still on the pickguard. It's strung with 9 gauge strings so it will need some setup work once I install my preferred 11-48 set. I have read GAD's fantastic write up on his gold top and although I've...

I know they are hard to find but I'm in no hurry. If anyone has one they'd like to move please let me know. Thanks!

Way back in the 80's I had a late 1950's thin line Gibson ES-125 and since I was a young rocker I really had no use for a hollow body that squealed like a pig when played at stage volume. Even though they were low end guitars for their time I now wish I had kept it since I paid $150 for it...

Please correct me if I am wrong, but since this guitar is roughly the same size as the Gibson Smeck inspired Jackson Browne model, I wonder if the Gibby case would work for my Orpheum slope shoulder 12 fret? It pains me that the case for this guitar is such an ill fitting, low quality piece of...

I am offering this wonderful guitar to this group before I try other avenues. I will not ship but would be willing to meet somewhere safe within a 3-4 hour drive from central Illinois. As most in this group know, the Ren Ferguson designed Orpheum line was made in New Hartford, Ct. for a short...

I am so conflicted on this and need some input. In May of this year I bought a 2013 Orpheum 12 fret dread. This may well be the single best sounding guitar I have owned but.......the 12 fret neck is limiting to my occasional foray into the upper registers. I bought the guitar with the intent of...

So I've owned my 2013 Orpheum 12 fret dread for a few months now and have wiped it down with a moistened cloth followed up with a dry cloth. There is some sweat/gunk building up where my right arm rests on the top. Any recommendations on what product is safe for cleaning the finish on these guitars?

I just bought a set of bone bridge pins from Luthiers Mercantile and all is well except the low E string pin will not stay in while bringing the string up to pitch. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that the string takes up more room in the bridge than the other strings. Can I file material...

Hello again. Looking for help once more on my new (used) Orpheum 12 fret dread. My guitar has cheap white plastic bridge pins and according to the Guild spec sheet from 2013, this guitar should have bone pins. I'd like to replace the plastic with bone. I'm not necessarily seeking improved tone...

Just joined the forum and this is my first post. Years ago I owned a 60's Starfire and an 85' Nightbird but this is my first Guild acoustic. Anyhoo, last week I pounced on a 2013 Orpheum 12 fret dread that I stumbled across online. I had read so many great reviews and have been curious about the...
