D50SW

[killdeer43]

I lived in the Southwest for a few years and developed an affinity for turquoise so I wondered if I could customize my D50.
Seems like I've seen a few high-end Guilds with similar trappings/bling on the fingerboard, etc.

Just pondering, :wink:

Just save your coin, and get a DV-72 or -73!!

You also seem to be picking up my affinity for the backsides of necks. Especially right where they meet the "'head"stock. NIce trick of the light. Seriously though haven't I seen someone's custom inlaid TRC around here? Just can't remember who. It'd be a nice non-invasive detail.

A couple of years ago, I did a little work on a guitar and sent her on to Caostie in New Zealand. The next thing you know, I receive one of these in the mail. I can't remember who Gary buys them from, but you might PM him and ask.

Yep dat be de one.

Coastie can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that TRC was made by Bill Nichols.... If not, Bill could certainly make you one. Dave

I think you're right Dave.

I agree, a Nichols truss rod cover is a nice addition and you can personalize it as much as you want. Ebony trc with turquoise inlay maybe? And you're not actually modifying the guitar, either.

Yeah from what I read here Joe's pretty particular about mod-ing his axes... :lol:

How about big blocks of turquoise inlaid into the fretboard a'la my customized DV-52 (it was done before I owned it):

Oh yeah, and here's the TRC Bill Nichols did for me:

Wow... thanks for posting the link to Nichols. I've been looking for someone to inlay a piece of ebony on another (non-Guild) guitar tailpiece and he looks like just the guy. COOL!!
