I probably should have done my thread listing in reverse but what's done is done. New member here, long time lurker. I have a slight obsession with Guilds for some reason. My best friend jokes that I have a problem. I correct him and remind him he doesn't own a Guild.
Honestly, I don't remember when it started but I always remember hearing good things about Guilds. My guitar education started in the mid-late 90s in a music store in Chattanooga, TN. Lots of Fenders and Gibsons, as you'd expect. Typical stuff for a store dealing in vintage back then. Guilds would come and go and I remember them being interesting - well crafted and typically at a fraction of the others. What's not to love?
I've bought and sold a lot of gear over the years. I only bring in stuff I would be happy to get stuck with. Amazingly it took a long time for a Guild to enter the fray. A good friend offered me a 59' M20 with a lot of battle scars. We've passed it back and forth a few times. He says this is my 5th time owning it. I think it's #3 or 4. Nonetheless, it's back with me now. It sports a number of repaired cracks and your typical dings/dents. It got a partial refret recently. I informed my friend that the $$ had gone up but not to worry, it's likely to stay with me now. Here pictured with my equally beat (well far more beat) 52' Southern Jumbo. The M20 is a cannon.
The reason for the FS thread just listed is the following. I'm in the fund recoup phase. This is another one I owned before. I found this thing on CL. I cleaned it up and sold it to another friend. I'm buying it back. It was it filthy when I got it. With any luck you'll be able to see the images in the link below. It's an amazing guitar and rounds out a small stable of instruments, none of which were ever on my MUST HAVE list. Amazing how they pick us sometimes.
