As I recently turned [TOO OLD], I'm looking for a milestone acoustic. My last milestone was a nice Fred Stuart grady martin Bigsby replica so it's time for somethin' equally fancy.
What I really want is a black acoustic with some bling for stage like the old country guys had. Perhaps a crazy pickguard. Old or new Like a D-55 Noir (yeah I see there was only 2) or an F-55 in black (although the GSR red ones look pretty tempting). Gibson doesn't make a SJ-200 in black as far as I know. The Cash D-28 could be a possibility. I could get a local luthier friend to make something comparable-- he makes D-28 clones - but I'm not sure I want that route yet. The last time it took over a year to get and frankly isn't worth what I laid out for it and it actually had some issues.
How many fancy black acoustics has Guild done over the years?
