Howdy Folks,
I've been a passive LTG member for quite a while, and have thoroughly enjoyed checking the site out on a regular basis. There is a huge wealth of knowledge here on these fine guitars, and its been fun and informative listening in on many of the conversations. In brief, my introduction to Guild was by chance, since Guilds don't tend to be prominantly featured in the music stores I've frequented in the south. I was looking for an amp for my SG in the local guitar shop. In order to sample some amps, I started looking on the wall rack for something to play. My attention was riveted to an old Guild archtop on consignment, a 65 Guild T100D. Now here was a guitar with character, mojo, whatever. I pulled it down, plugged it in and started playing. It didn't take long, I was hooked. An amp can come later, I bought the Guild that day and saved up for an amp. That was about 20 years ago and since then I have developed a chronic case of GAS, primarily for Guilds. I currently own an early New York X50, a 1959 M65 3/4, and a 1968 M75. Other Guilds have come and gone, but I have loved them all. The problem with GAS, as many of you well know, is that acquisition often requires liquidation, thus the T100D, a D15 and a CE100 are no longer in my possession. Anyway, I'll try to jump in in the future and contribute when I can. I know I'll have some technical questions since the M75 is a work in progress, having started as an unfinished ebay acquisition, but has not quite reached its full potential. I hope to get some better shots of my Guilds soon, but here they are so far.
