    Guild F412 vs Martin D35-12 vs Guild JF55-12

    I’ve always liked comparison videos. But Guild vs Martin I don’t often see. These are videos of guitars that I own. Since one is a Martin if the video is deemed inappropriate due to not being Guild please delete. Tunes played are approximately the same. I added my JF55-12 that I bought from Dan...

    Did someone here purchase the Orpheum off SoundPure.

    It was a beauty. But it went fast.

    JF55-12 vs F-412 video

    Here is my comparison video of these two guitars. Enjoying the contrast between the rosewood and maple. Just a part time couch noodler and a full time health care provider greatly enjoying the Guild 12 strings.

    NGD Tacoma F-412

    I got this in straight trade because I wanted a Guild maple 12 string. The action feels good. I think the 1st strings are 11’s so there’s are a little more tension and a little more volume than my JF55-12 which has 10’s. The pickup connection doesn’t look like its stock from the factory. But...

    Why did the maple guitars have to use pressed laminate Maple for the backs?

    I'm seeing a JF65-12 for sale from 1996 and the back is pressed laminate maple for the back. The sides are solid maple. I'm completely ignorant about the characteristics of woods for building guitars, I do love the sound of maple. I had a Northwood 000-80 flame maple which sounded so good. But...

    Now this what I like to hear about my 12 string.

    “The Guild JF-55-12 was made from 1991 to 2001 in the Westerly, R.I., plant, basically replacing the F-512 according to the Guild website; it is considered by many to be the greatest 12-string acoustic of all time.” This quote is from the “Gear” Website. It’s a MIGHTY BOLD statement. But nice...

    NGD F40 Traditional

    Well I made a road trip today from my home in Toledo Washington to Corvallis Oregon. I found this CMG built 2018 F40 traditional. It’s very lightly built which must be a feature of the Oxnard built Guilds. It sounds incredibly loud and the bass is very prominent yet still articulate in the...

    NGD-1998 Westerly JF55-12

    Got this beauty about a week ago. Longnose Gar (Dan) sold it to me. 1998 vintage. It’s strung with 10’s according to Dan. Love the smooth Guild 12 string jangle. I have it-up to pitch but in Open G. The neck is very full and my hand loves it. The more detailed picture of the straight edge shows...

    F-512 neck size variations and JF-55 comparison.

    I recently purchased Dan’s (Longnose Gar) JF-55. What a beautiful. well set up, and great sounding instrument. Just curious if Guild changed the neck size and profile after they left Westerly to go west to Corona and then Tacoma. Dan didn’t like the neck on the JF55 because it felt too big. I...

    Sold Lakewood D14-12 string

    Video added This is a wonderful sounding guitar. Very full and rich sounding. It has a full low end that rounds out the sound beautifully and prevents the unfortunate high-end tinniness of many 12 strings. It has excellent natural volume and projection as well. A passive pickup (no batteries)...

    J55-12 thoughts and picture of the neck angle

    Im interested in a Guild 12 string. Its a J55-12. Seller has good reviews. This guitar has been recently worked on. According to the seller, the luthier said it didn't need a neck reset. It was made in 1998. Here are pics of a good neck, bad neck and the neck on this guitar, this is the web...

    NGD J-45, Orpheum Clone

    If it’s not permissible then I will delete. I know it’s called NGD for New Guitar Day. I did some trading and got what was close to a 14 fret SS Orpheum. It’s a J-45 clone with a short scale. It has a carpathian spruce top and a curly walnut back and sides. I like the antique burst top. It’s...

    Guild F-512 made in Tacoma.

    Just curious if anyone has one and how it sounds. The D-55 that I had rumbles and barks and is a class act. So i'm wondering if anyone here has a Tacoma made F-512 and what they have to say about it. Thanks

    JF-30 12 String

    As I age my hearing diminishes and the idea of a Guild 12 string sound intrigues me. I know that Chazmo loves his 12 strings. I"m seeing a 93 version of a JF-30 has popped up here locally and I'm just looking for thoughts about the Guild brand Jumbo 12 stings. I'm loving the sounds of all my D 6...

    What does “Guild Total” represent?

    As stated above. Does this represent the number of Guild guitars owned? If so I own 4 as listed on my signature but ”Guild total” only shows one. Anyway, just curious. Thanks.
