Anyone just have 1 Guild acoustic they play?

B50

But then it is my only Guild acoustic.

Mrs. Fro. has several Guild acoustics but they are tools in her tool box and she plays the one that fits the job at hand. Lately that job has been accompanying choirs and congregations acoustically so the D25 gets most of the playing time.

Had my G37 for 33 years before her sister 412 came along in 2014.

i've really been fine tuning my acoustic needs and collection recently. Still own a handfull, but have definitley been selling them off. A couple more still need to find new homes...as far as keepers/my players:

for 6-string: one F-20 & one M-20. could live without the M-20, but it does sound better for slide.

for 12-string: one D-212 & one F-112. would be a tough decision, if I couldnt keep both.

I do very much love the other 2 that I don't play as often (D-25 and F-312), but those will ultimately find new homes when the right situation presents itself

I consider owning only one guitar(regardless of what it is) to be anti-American and I refuse to be a part of it.

My Br is the only one I play......

My F50R is the only six-string that I play. Well, it's the only six-string that I have (other than a couple Epiphone electrics, that I very rarely play). Beyond that, it's 12-strings, which I play a lot. I don't play hours a day like some of you guys, but I play the hell out of them!

I play the only one guitar game all the time, and if it were to come to that, I'd sell everything and buy the best vintage D 18 I could get. That might be a 50s, more likely a 60s. I've played one or two older but not truly grail guitars I could be happy with. Much as I love mt Guild, if I had to live with one guitar I'd have to own a bassier dread. Honorable mention to the D 55, but that would likely be too beautiful in both sound and looks.

I only play one at a time -- does that count?

(What Richard said.)

 

[JerryR]

Only have 1 Guild, my D35. It's the one I play most but also have an Epiphone, now kept at my son's house, I play there sometimes to amuse my granddaughter.

I bet with the Cocobolo back it has an awesome and big sound for a small guitar!?

Actually when she arrived she sounded pretty stiff, no wonder after many years as NOS in the store and old strings. With new strings initially it had not improved a lot, so I put a ToneRite on her for a week with changing vibration speeds. And afterwards she was like expected, a pretty good sound for a small guitar!

I've had this S4CE for more than 20 years. Has a PUTW soundboard transducer inside behind the bridge wired in parallel with the stock Fishman UST going the the to built in preamp. I have this one paired with a Trace Elliot TA30 and she sounds sweet. It's intended to be plugged in - but it has always been my late at night unplugged guitar.

Purchased my first Guild this past Summer. A D-40 Traditional. Absolutely love this guitar. It has a wonderful sound.

Loving that fire extinguisher, as well!! Super nice one! I have two out in the garage but they need to be cleaned up and polished. I'd better get busy with them soon!!!

I'll have to quote beecee's post for my answer. "No." Of the 5 I play (or will more when my hand heals up) they're all mostly in different tunings. Choice doesn't bother me at all. Lack of choice and options bothers me more. So yeah, I'll stick with "No."

My wife is out of town and I had a friend over for dinner. We ended up playing for two hours and he was absolutely shocked by the all 'hog D-25 flat back and the D-26.

Offered to buy either if and when

I can’t lie I’m a cheater and I play around . there might come a day when only one will do but until then I’m a guitar gigolo . Lol

 

[jezzatakla]

I've got a D4 and it sounds great. I wonder who made up the expression"Entry Level". The action is so easy and it's loud. The intonation is very good. I've also got a Martin D15 also "Entry Level" !!! Happy New Year everyone.

I have one Guild acoustic - NH F47R - I don't play enough. I have six Guild electric archtops though...

Those all hog flats from 1968-72 really are something to behold.

Just one right now, that I purchased this last fall -- 1979 D-25.

The intent is to find a used made in USA 12 string dread in the future sometime......there's other stuff to spend money on first however.

I focused on the question. I have as many guitars as I can sneak into the house

Well, I usually have 3 - 5 Guilds / 4 - 7 total acoustics at any given time. I too struggle with too many options and these numbers represent max count for me.
My go to is probably the '78 D35. It is just perfect for songwriting, gigs, road trips, etc. Just loud enough. Action is superb. Has some road wear so not really concerned with door dings. A true workhorse.
I play my F-55 about 3 times a week on average, and I have been playing the heck out of the F47M that I bought a few months back from Grassdog. Superb instrument and extremely attractive.

Buuuut back to your question, the D35 gets the most airtime acoustically speaking.

Non Guild airtime goes to the Martin Custom D and the Squier Classic Vibe Tele Baritone I just got. That thing is just plain fun.
