Re: Accidental Guild unveiled

Yeah, what is it? Is that the original bridge? A GAD with a US Guild pickguard? Looks like an F30. Is this the same guitar with those crazy uncut strings from one of your previous threads?

Re: Accidental Guild unveiled

Whatever it is, I like it! I was going to guess some kind of A50 with a different pickguard, but Hans is always right...

Except when he tells us he was wrong. That one time. About when the D25's went archback. :lol:

Re: Accidental Guild unveiled

Do you mean to say that Hans has only been wrong once, and that was when he thought he was wrong, but he wasn't? :lol:

Re: Accidental Guild....The rest of the story

Here's the story and I'm sticking to it, trying to cover all bases.
It was a dark and stormy night....no, wait, that's a different story.

So, I was cruising eBay one evening and since I was starting to feel a touch of spring GAS, I thought I'd 'warm up' and see if I remembered how to bid. I saw a Guild that was just getting started and almost as a joke to/on myself, I lowballed it and walked away.
A few days later, I went back for a visit, and there was a message from eBay that I had won the auction and could I please pay the $219.38. My bid was $220.
So now, I have a GAD30 in excellent condition, including the spotless tweed case (good eye Ridge).

Since I never did like the GAD pickguards, I ordered a "genuine Guild pickguard" and while I was waiting for it, I removed the GAD guard and what you see is all there is to see.
I think it looks pretty spiffy and that 1 3/4" nut makes for nice fingerpicking.

And Jerry, it sounds great! I think it sounds better than the first one I had a few years ago.

Ahhhh, :wink:
Joe

What a DEAL :mrgreen: How'd you do that. Things like that never happen to me. I am the one who goes to the discount rack , takes it to the cashier who politely tells me that one is not on sale. Seriously , my wife is amazed every time :wink:
Have fun with your new git, she's a beaut. even if she is from china 8)

So I gotta ask. How does this one compare to the Epiphone OM you sold last year?
