Then....
And now....
Is that the same guitar after all these years?
There's another acoustic forum I frequent and they recently had a "post a music-related picture of yourself" thread. It was a very, very cool thread.
Anyways, there were a couple of "then and now" pics - the same guy today and 30 years ago with the same guitar. I thought it was fantastic. There's something to be said about tradition, respect for an instrument and love of a great guitar.
To bad I don't have the old Epi I used to tote around when I was a kid.
Ah well - have fun, y'all.

Elvis had a Guild Jumbo Maple of some sort.
Tommy S. still has his pre-production D-55, "D-55." He used it about a year ago when my son was doing the sound engineering for the Bros.
......and I still have my HoboKen F2-12 from my 60's IUP "Folkmen" days that "John Dutch," as I called him, tried to talk me into trading on a newer JF2-12 like his first Guild 12, one evening when we were both quite mellow on good Boulder, CO chilled wine.
And..... I do remember Dave's Jumbo Guild sitting in the corner as he quite handle-leeeee drank the rest of us under the table one night in NY on good beer. Dave always did sound like he gargled with "ground glass & soda-pop" to quote D..C Fitzgerald.....and Dave even admitted that he could never play the St. Louie Tickle the same way twice. But, no matter how he played it, it was always better than we could do.

Dave Van Ronk, Patrick Sky, Buddy Holly, Rev. Gary Davis, and John Denver were all major inspirations to me.
While Patrick Sky was usually seen on film playing a Gibson (as in the lionk below), he always recorded with a Guild.
Check out Patrick playing his classic "Separation Blues" for Pete Seeger in the clip below!

Pat Sky.....Yes! "Harvest of Gentle Clang" Album.......I still have my LP somewhere around here.
Rev. Gary Davis.....Pittsburgh, PA's own Dr. Ernie Hawkins was his student. He and Dr. Jeffery Kelley 60 miles away in Indiana, PA are today's Delta & Piedmont Blues renditions of Rev. Davis. Jeff Has a Guild Rosewood Jumbo six-string (Jeff was also on of the original 60's IUP Folkmen.)
If you consider Just the "Good Old Boys" ...Waylon Jennings a semi-Folk/Country player, then you have to know he had an acoustic Guild D-55
And Judy Collins's old Anvil travel case that carried her old Guild 12-string guitar in its factory hardshell case, is in my basement. I use it for for my JF-55-12 in "Hard Travelin'" situations. She still sounds great!
Mississippi John Hurt had a Guild F-30.....he would not have anythihng but....even when offered a higher graded woods' Guild.
