    1990 JF30-12 Stable

    I bought my first Guild, a 1990 JF30-12, three years ago last month. The seller reported it had been stable for many years. I wasn't all that sure it would remain stable. I thought I may be facing a neck reset by now. The saddle was shaved as far as you could go and the action was right...

    F512 with or without Baggs pickup

    I bought a new F-512 rosewood last fall and love it. It is an awesome guitar. The maple or rosewood F512 are both great.

    The tone on you F112 is really sweet. The F2612 sounds very nice also.

    Does This JF30-12 Look Like it Needs A Neck Reset? (I have a chance to buy it)

    I have seen several really nice Guild 12 strings for sale on this site in the last few months. You may think of posting a "Wanted to Buy" post on this forum. My experience on this site is there are a bunch of good, helpful, and honest people on this site. Another option is Guitar Center...

    Does This JF30-12 Look Like it Needs A Neck Reset? (I have a chance to buy it)

    I agree with Wileypcikett. The additional pictures do not give much additional information for evaluating the neck angle. A wooden 12" straight edge is not of much value in the pictures you have. The article linked below in Frets.com is a very good reference for checking neck angle on an...

    Humidify Properly

    I have not been able to keep the humidity up to an acceptable level this year. I moved the guitars from the wall and back into their cases with various methods of maintaining and monitoring proper humidity in the cases. I have a guitar room humidifier but don't typically need humidification in...

    I divorced facebook 4 years ago

    My wife is a Facebook user. I'm not. It never did appeal to me. I do enjoy reading the posts of Lets Talk Guild. I don't post much but I really enjoy reading informative low key, no drama posts on this site.

    Guild 12 String Curses: Bellying, Bridge Issues, and Neck Resets

    The contour of the top of my 1990 JF30-12 is similar to my 2019 F-512. My JF30-12 has a belly similar to a new Guild 12 string.... a normal amount of belly on both guitars. The bridge is fully attached but the saddle has been shaved to a minimum some time in history before I bought it. It is...

    Guild F-512 Maple or Guild F-512 Rosewood? Which sounds better?

    You are where I was a few months back. I sold a Stelling Staghorn banjo to fund a new F-512. I went with the rosewood. Either rosewood or maple would have been fine with me. Just awesome guitars.

    Covid vaccine

    I got my first shot last week. My understanding is a number of states thought they needed to hold back half of their vaccine inventory for 2nd shots. It seems they were wrong. I believe I am hearing the first round vaccines are shipped to the state government for distribution to vaccination...

    The Very First Rock Song You Remember Hearing That Changed Your World...

    I had three older sisters who were buying up 45's in the 1950's. My wife is often "amused" when I start singing some obscure rock and roll song from the 50's. My wife is the oldest of 5 kids and missed out on deep emersion into the music of the 1950's. The running funny in my home is when we...

    The Very First Rock Song You Remember Hearing That Changed Your World...

    Yep. You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog was my first exposure to rock and roll. I think I was in the third grade. The forty-five belonged to my sister and she played it over and over and over.

    Difference between Guild GF30 and Guild JF30

    https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GF55EMATB--guild-f-55e-maple-jumbo-acoustic-electric-guitar-antique-sunburst I would certainly buy one of these Guild F-55's, with laminated maple back and sides, if I had close to $4000 sitting around idle.

    Banjo Anyone????????????????

    Richard, I have been playing bluegrass banjo for about 15 years and have owned about ten of them. I would happy to offer suggestions based on my experience playing and buying/selling banjos. Do you want a resonator banjo or an open back? Recommendations depend on what type of banjo you want...
