Evening Men (and ladies). First post from me on the LTG. I have been lurking and learning since December, '07. Brief bio......55 years old, tool/ fixture designer at Tinker AFB, OK. I took up acoustic guitar during Christmas, 2005. I've had a few lessons, but mostly just noodle around and learn off youtube. Oh yeah, my spelling skills are not the best.
Presently I have three Guilds (all mid-late 90's Westerlys); D-55, D-30, F 212XL. Also have a Taylor GC3 that has spoiled me somewhat. I like the 1 3/4" nut on the Taylor. I have installed wider graphtech nuts on my two dreads after seeing the info here on LTG. I have a hard time playing clean on a 1 11/16" nut....in fact I cannot play an open C without buzzing and mutting around the "b" string. My fingers are shorter than most and bigger than most on the tip pads. :?
I am in heat (GAS'n) for a CV-2 that is listed on Ebay as I like the maple sound of my D-30 and the nut width is a big draw. I am negotiating with the man on the only CV-2 now listed on Ebay. I do not know if it is proper to provide the link so I will refrain. His business is an authorized Guild dealer.
The CV-2 is new with a warranty.......but no warranty will be honored from Guild on the finish. It is a blem that has been reworked to the point that it (blem) is no longer an issue. I am not crazy for the color....but I can over look that if the price is right. I don't understand why Guild would not honor the finish warranty if it has been resprayed/ touched up by the factory or dealer. I honestly do not feel comfortable on this issue.....but from a price stand point I am GAS'n.....................bad.
I have read mostly good about the CV series. I know from expierience that when buying a new guitar you had better plan on keeping it. The value drops the instant you take ownership. Kind of like buying a new car..............it's yours unless you want to feed the economy and go upside down. Been there, done that with an Ovation Elite!
As such, I solicite your advice on this finish issue of non-warranty. Also as to the playability and any other known issues with a CV-2. I appreciate your time in reading this post. I am beholding for everything I have learned so far from you big dogs who post most everyday. Mostly a porch dweller here.
BTW, it is pretty darn hot here. Mowed the yard this evening and it about put my dauber in the dirt! Had to whine about something! :lol:
