    Guild B-30 wood and construction

    I did check out your museum - I can't believe you have double that now. I'll check out your youtube videos.

    Guild B-30 wood and construction

    Thanks! And while I'm at it, any idea what the neck is made of? The fretboard looks to be Rosewood but not 100% sure.

    Guild B-30 wood and construction

    I bought this 1998 USA made Guild B-30 about 8 months ago, I was just looking it over and wonder what wood it's made of and the construction. It looks like two piece spruce on top and I suppose it's solid and not laminated, but I don't know. Also, the sides and back are dark like Rosewood and...

    New strings for my Guild B30

    Boy that's great info. So, I just measured the 4th string from the bridge pin to the tuning key and it's 36". So, that string at least would need to be probably 38".

    New strings for my Guild B30

    I've confirmed this bass uses short scale, not medium scale strings. That makes it a little easier as the short scale strings seem to be available. Tapes or phos bronze wound?

    New strings for my Guild B30

    Definitely plan to play it acoustically 99% of the time. I will plug it in (direct) to record from time to time. So, there is no issue with using long scale strings for a medium scale neck?

    New strings for my Guild B30

    I'm not really a bass player, more of a guitar player, but wanted an acoustic bass so I bought this 1998 Guild B30. The seller wasn't sure how old the strings were so I'm going to put some new ones on. There are what look like typical round wound strings on it now. Any recommendations? I've...

    Got my new Guild B30

    Here are the pictures. Hans contacted me and let me know where to find that date stamp inside on the neck block, Sept. 1997, apparently completed in 1998. Also, B30 NT (no E) yet has electronics that have been upgraded, so there's a battery compartment on the back that isn't used.

    Got my new Guild B30

    Got my new bass today - looks great and sounds great. Man this body is HUGE! So, the serial number is AB301352. Any idea what year it is? The tag in the sound hole says Westerly, RI so I assume it was made there, but I don't know.

    Just got the bass, took measurements and I think that case was made for this bass, so I bought it! Thanks Mavuser for finding that! Man this thing is BIG!! I can barely see over the body to see the fretboard!! Sounds great!

    Case for Guild B30 Acoustic Bass

    Wow - I thought I had looked everywhere and I'm on ebay all the time, not sure how I missed that! Looks like that is the exact case I'm after! My bass should arrive at any minute, so I'll measure and confirm. The only thing I'm concerned about is the depth. I'm thinking that lid adds another...

    Case for Guild B30 Acoustic Bass

    This bass will rarely if ever leave my house. I just want something to put it in if I do decide to take it somewhere and also for resale purposes in case I ever need to sell it. I would be fine with a padded gig bag, but it looks like there is nothing out there that will fit, the depth seems...

    Case for Guild B30 Acoustic Bass

    Wow, ok that Guardian case isn't going to work. Maybe I can find a gig bag with some flexibility that will fit it. I have a feeling this isn't going to be easy.

    Case for Guild B30 Acoustic Bass

    Hi, I've just bought a Guild B30 ABG, it's on the way. It is coming without a case so I want to get one, either a hard case (preferred) or even a decent gig bag. I can't find anywhere that shows all the dimensions of the B30, but wondering if anyone can recommend a case that will actually...
