    D-55 on its way to Guild for warranty service

    Dwarsifar, This is a terrible situation to be in for so long. I hope the people at Cordoba take heart and bend over backwards to make it right. I am close to purchasing a NEW Guild D55, and have been looking seriously at a Cordoba crossover nylon As well. I’ll be watching closely whether...

    D-55 on its way to Guild for warranty service

    Dwarsifar, Not sure if this was already tried but….. Have you thought of talking to the Cordoba District manager, or Sales manager? Go and talk to someone as high up as you can! What have you got to lose at this point? With all the time that has passed and all the repair difficulties, you have...

    2013 Guild 60th year anniversary, only 60 made.

    I don’t know if you all have seen this? It does sound nice and clear with excellent string definition. That said the sound is in the room when playing it, not on headphone speakers. Video 2 Here’s a sound clip...

    2013 Guild 60th year anniversary, only 60 made.

    Frono, I am looking to pickup my first Guild very soon I hope. Being I do like me a good OM on occasion. The anniversary model has me doing double takes and I may be interested. Would your wife be able to comment/describe what the Koa anniversary sounds like? I am somewhat familiar with Mahogany...

    D55 or F55 Quest

    Frono, The model number I posted was written just as it appears on the Guitar. It was not a typo. I couldn’t say why, but I copied it down exactly. Go figure?

    D55 or F55 Quest

    Yea I will…..I am not in any way putting down owners of the instruments I tried out so far. The ones discussed above simply didn’t float MY boat. That said, I have tried many high end Martins that also didn’t turn ME on. So, there in lies my dilemma. Buying sight unseen from eBay or reverb where...

    D55 or F55 Quest

    <<Update>> I finally got to tryout (2) Guild acoustics yesterday. 1st was a Guild D225NT 12 string serial# AD421429 made in the USA at Westerly. Asking $1000.00 This was a used guitar in pretty clean condition appearance wise, minor scuffs light scratches here and there. Action at the nut was a...

    Chazmo, You are correct. Although I have only talked with 1 Guild dealer in my area so far, I think I am correct to assume that ALL Guild dealers are forced to order nine high end US build guitars Even if they only want one. Dealer I spoke with is certainly NOT going to do that. Therefore...

    D55 or F55 Quest

    Guys, Just a quick update to the dilema? I just got through talking to a Guild dealer here in Tennessee. We had a very candid conversation so please don’t ask who the retailer was. Of course, he has no American made D55’s in stock. No surprise there! His reasons are very valid for not ordering...

    D55 or F55 Quest

    Hey guys, FYI, I stopped by open chord music here in Knoxville and got to try the BT-258E eight string. Sorry to report…..not my cup of tea! I’m sure some of you can make it sing. I have never cottoned up to baritone guitars. Did take notice of the body size, fit and finish. The jumbo size is...

    D-20 made in California. Disappointing build quality

    Wow…..small world. I lived in Pearl City for years. By any chance was the purchase at Easy Music? I know the store well. Regardless, you sure do have the strings pulling up on you! All the best with Guild. Aloha

    Pike, In order of tone and quality and all other criteria, which era and manufacturing locale would be the most desirable? This information would be very helpful and save me a lot of time. I hear a lot about Hoboken as well as Westerly.

    Bobouz I agree with you. Nashville for the hands on. If I strike out there, off to Guitar Center to order a new one. If it isn’t the ONE! I’ll keep on looking! I don’t just want a nice Guild…..I want a spectacular Guild 😃

    Boneman, Hey thanks for the words of encouragement. “Smitten”, is definitely the word of the day! And that I am! I have been around town at some of the music stores in the Knoxville area and occasionally bump into a Guild here and there. Murlin Music in Maryville was the first store that opened...

    Well, finding the right one may take a while. Don’t think I forgot about it if you hear little from me. In the mean time, I will be here reading and learning as much as I can from you all! Thank you all for the warm welcome and thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. All my best

    D55 or F55 Quest

    Stubsll48, Thanks for the info, I was afraid that Carter and Gruhn would be slim pickings with all the traffic in their stores. The quest continues. I won’t buy until I play it and hear it. Them’s the rules that me and Mrs. McSeven live by 👍
