Amigo Arrives! (with pictures, of course)

[twocorgis]

Well, it looks like Amigo made the trip up from Tejas and arrived here today in fine form. And he certainly lives up to Scratch's billing. The guitar (much like the F20 I just sold) is absolutely mint. Not a mark on him to be found, and plays and sounds beautiful. Excellent for the mostly fingerstyle stuff I've been playing lately.

Here's the face shot, showing that lovely Iced Tea Sunburst finish. BTW, the finish on this one rivals the finishes on the New Hartford Guilds we saw on the tour, and the Iced Tea Sunburst really looks better in the flesh.

Here's some shots of the sides and back. What doesn't come out all that well in the pictures is the subtle and beautiful binding on the body, which is hard to see at first, but is really a nice touch, and a most pleasant surprise!

Next up is the front and rear shot of the headstock. I haven't had a Guild with this this style, or with open back tuners

Lastly is some shots of the sound hole, and the sticker. It's my first (and maybe only) Tacoma, and the quality seems just fine, thank you!

I'm very happy, and I think this one's a keeper for sure. Thanks, Scratch!

Thanks, Chaz. I'm quite pleased! I forgot to mention that the setup on this guitar is spot-on. I wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks, SG. We need to get some pics of the F20 up Down Under!

The size of this one seems to suit me perfectly. I spent quite some time playing him (needless to say) with no discomfort at all. REALLY nice guitar.

Indeed, Al.

Curvy is the best word to describe this one. Oddly enough, this one really does seem to have a male personality though, in contrast to the F20 which was distinctly female.

Sandy,
That is one gorgeous 'lawn ornament.'
I do hope it's inside by now! :wink:

But seriously folks, it's no small wonder that we who are GASsed suffer when we see a super photo spread like this.
We all want a backyard like this one....with all the 'trimmings' of course.

Congrats on the new family member,
Joe

Yow-za! That makes an electric guy want to go acoustic right there! Score a big one for Sandy.
