I don't know if you are sellin' or buyin' but that is one beautiful guitar. Man I can look at those photos and get the smell when you first open the case. I sure wish Guild would get back to making archtops.

Not buying or selling. Just a beautiful guitar junkie.

This guy is selling roughly 50 higher-end guitars . . . check out his other listings, I think he had a T-100D for sale as of a couple days ago.

I'm interested in learning more about these guitars. I assume they have floating bridges, correct? What type/gauge of strings would be best for an archtop like this beauty?

I'm sure it's a great guitar, but I don't like what Benedetto did for Guild much aesthetically, I think that say, a vintage Artist Award looks much nicer. IMO and YMMV.

I'm with Walter. The AA is understated and elegant where The Benedetto (to me) seems a bit garish with the overdone binding, but I'm just talking visuals here. If you gave me one I sure wouldn't turn it down, I just think the AA looks a little classier. http://www.myjazzhome.com/88_guild_aa.shtml
