Hi, A new forum member here with a question
From 1980-86 I had a 70's natural Guild BluesBird. At the time it was cheap for my to buy as traditional guilds weren't that desirable. It seemed that everyone (including me) wanted fenders or those pointy guitars. I loved my Bluesbird though as it was a great instrument but eventually I traded it in against a new strat after I was left some money from a relative. I always regretted it and I grew to dislike the strat and it is long gone. I then stopped playing for about 20 years but I have recently got myself another Bluesbird.
I believe it has seymour Duncans in it and it has a nice maple cap to the body but it feels and sounds very close to the 70's one I had in terms of geometry and neck. It looks like it was made around 1998 by the production number and it just feels like home....
With my eyes shut it feels and sounds like the same guitar but that was a long time ago. What are the differences?
Note: I love it and it gets its birst gig next week
